Question

Tim Hummell

Would it be better to freeze mushroom and kale burgers raw or cooked?

Answer

You can cook them. You can do either way either Frozen or cooked. However, my my preference would be to make them cook this way. When you come home from a long day doing whatever it is that you do. You have dinner ready. You don't have to wait an extra minute to cook something before you can eat it. So either pop it in your toaster oven or your air fryer or your microwave. But either way we'll do just make certain that when you do makes them that you label the container that they're in and date them as well. Remember they can last in your freezer between three and five months.
