Remove the patties from their packaging while still frozen. They can be cooked on a stovetop in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through. Alternatively, they can be grilled over medium heat, about 4-5 minutes per side, until they are nicely charred and cooked internally. Ensure they reach a safe internal temperature before serving. They are also suitable for baking in an oven.
How it differs from similar foods
