Oh microwaved hotdogs. One of the things I never thought I would miss from going to grandmas after school. She's still alive and I am a grown, hairy arsed man, man. Just no one told me I'd have to watch her slowly lose her memories and herself. I hope she goes quietly without pain.
Dude.... I'm so sorry. Your grandmother loves you and is proud as hell of the positive person you are, and of the positive changes you have wrought in your community and family. If she is still with her, just spend time with her, even if it is in silence. Listen to music ffrom her era that she finds comforting, and record her telling stories, even if you know them by heart.

@@TheInfamousCloaker- There is no sofa. It was junked years ago. This is filmed on a park bench with a green screen, just down the road from Dan Nerdcubed's gaff. The partially eaten burgers are given to the local beggars, mendiants, dossers, hobbledehoys, guttersnipes and other top gits, to keep them away. And to ensure Stuart's bones aren't harvested for Slepp. Fact.
Read this comment before I got to that part of the video and thought you were being sarcastic. No, that is genuinely the sort of mustard application you'd expect in a hotdog advert. Top tier.
I have been watching you since around 2014 , so 10 years . i have seen every episode you have made up to this point, multiple times. The videos have gotten me though near death feeling hangovers, bad stretches of depression and has always comforted me and made me feel cozy. Here is to another 10 years. Please never stop making videos. I would cry.
It doesn't LOOK terrible. Too be honest, these kinds of burgers and sandwiches are kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. I've made many an acceptably agreeable breakfast out of the odd microwave burger.
As someone who used to eat a lot of microwaved garbage and has now since moved away from it, these are my favorite episodes of yours! It's so funny to see you reactions. I can't imagine how somebody would enjoy these without taking every component and heating them separately in a toaster oven or stove top
For me, the Aldi version of these is my fave, price measured against taste. They’re a godsend as a midnight snack after, erm, y’know, a few wobbly imbibements. Saved me a fortune on impulsive dirty takeaways.
Hotdogs marketed specifically as microwave hotdogs have always confused me. Bread rolls aren't expensive, and it's not like you can't do a normal hotdog in the microwave.
"Food education", as if it's hard to learn how to cook, with how many cookery programs are on TV now. Though there seems to be way more bakery shoes now, when i was a kid i remember just watching Ainsley harriots show ready steady cook.

@@ToastybeesWell yeah I guess it's all in one package, as opposed to a seperate pack of hotdog sausages and buns.

Well, it wasn't the suppliers fault. If what they sold wasn't what the school board wanted then the school board wouldn't have bought it.

Back when I was young, had no income, had to eat whatever was bought for me, and wanted to eat just to fill a hole because I couldn't cook and wanted something quick and easy, I would eat these Rustler things. But you couldn't pay me to touch them nowadays! I admire Stuart for doing this as I never could!
From my long experience working at call centres, the number 1 use case for this sort of thing is for when you've got a 30 minute lunch break and Tesco ready meals want a full 8 of those minutes in the microwave plus cooling time
I think this is what the hot dog man of the Discworld books CMOT Dibbler (short for his catchphrase “with prices like these, I’m cutting me own throat”) would sell if Ankh-Morpork progressed to modern times, specifically so he’d be able to sell microwaveable foods. It fits the description of “things that look like vaguely edible food that certainly aren’t, yet are cheap enough to seem like a great idea when you’re drunk” from the books.
Split along the top is better. You can load it up with toppings without it spilling out like it would from a side cut. I guess you could just rotate the side cut 90° but then it's the same as the top cut
I love how the first feasters burger use "Add your own sauce" as an excuse for not adding a sauce packet in their container. Like they're adding some convenience to your life. 🤣

Maybe the same company?
@@TheUltimateToad proper british food (casseroles, pies, braised and roasted meat, potatoes every way) is super similar to Southern American cuisine. We just also have a lot of scottish (fried foods) and caribbean and African influence. Crumpets are just biscuits there. Yorkshore Puds are popovers. same foods, different names. ~ The big difference ive come to realize is americans thnk British food looks bland because theres no artificial colourinmg allowed. Even our meat in grocery stores is dyed bright red like a cartoon, so when an American sees a beautiful dark purple ribeye we think something is wrong with it. British cuisine is comforting and delicious.
I love how there's a silhouette of someone playing tennis on the package...I doubt anyone eating this will be doing much beyond feeding cats in a plastic swimming pool, or scratching themselves through a moo-moo while watching their stories
They should come with sauce in the package. Presumably, you are buying this for the convenience, which means you're probably taking this to the office or something.
When I was in the UK living for a while, I was that poor with my wife that we ate nothing but home made pancakes made with water flour and sugar for 5 months, every meal. These would have been perfect
Fun fact, when @ashens say’s “grilling” he means what Americans call “broiling” in the oven using the heating element at the top. In colloquial American English “grilling” generally means barbecuing.

Ashens is like an anchor in time for when you get a nostalgia kick in the balls. You can go back to Ashens and remember the good old times with every fresh episode 🥲
You really don't have to cut the bun in half. Butter the insides and toast it face down in a pan. We have what are called "New England" rolls in the northeast US that are flat on each side, which make it easy to toast them. Pre-packaged meat on buns never seems to be worth the price, no matter how cheap.
I’m not gonna lie those things “looked” good. For less than a dollar, you add a slice of cheese, relish, ketchup, mustard, and onions I bet that would enhance it greatly.
@@bewilderbeestie I am ususally quite chill in regards to food processing but that they can still call that """""beef"""" is kinda worrying, that is a bit of beef, then fat, soy and a whole lotta magic
More food! I started watching you, oh, something like 10 years ago, maybe more, and I watched pretty much all your food videos. Haven't watched you in a few years, came back to see this and be happily surprised you're still at it, but this is the only food video in the last year!
I think Ashens kind of hit the nail on the head with that one; if you're super broke you are better served by like a bag of potatoes, rice, or pasta-and if you've the extra 50 cents to spare on even slightly better quick food, then those are probably the way to go.
Ashens - and anyone else who might have an interest in making these A LOT better with VERY little effort (except for like 30-45 min once every few months), here is what I used to do when I was single: 1: Once ever few months I bought a large bag of onions (usually 5kg) and a large bottle of cheap vinegar and a bag of sugar. The amount of sugar should be regulated to taste. I did 1 liter of vinegar, 1 liter of water, 1 kg of sugar. if you want a sweeter pickle add more sugar - and less if you want it less sweet. The 1/1/1 ration seemed to fit what I was going for. Take a large pot, peel all the onions, chop them into pieces of your choice (I used a cheap food processor and just roughly chopped it in that) and put them in the pot. Pour in the vinegar, pour in the sugar, add a good amount of pepper (to taste) and about a ½ teaspoon of salt pr. kg of onions. Add an equal amount of water to the vinegar you are using. If you want it REALLY sour - ignore the water. I did that on my first go... lost several pairs of underpants while consuming that batch. Bring the whole thing to a boil while lightly stirring it so it doesn't stick to the bottom. Let it boil for 2 minutes (less if you want more bite, more if you want them softer) Move it off the stove and let it cool down to room temp. Now put it in portions into freezer bags. Have 1 good container (like one of those Ikea food containers with the blue seal) to use for "fridge storage" - and make the portions to about the size which will fit in the container. Freeze the bags, leave a full container in the fridge for use. It will stay good for weeks - at least! Now you have months of "condiments" for these kinds of burgers and hotdogs (and wraps and what not). Get a cheap airfryer - preferably one of those with a oven door. You can also use a toaster oven, but an airfryer is faster. Put the patty on a small pan - or just a piece of tin foil with crumbled edges. Add a small amount of butter + salt and pepper to taste on top. put on the top shelf in the oven/airfryer. Put the buns bellow in the oven. Took about 4 min to make in the airfryer I had at 200C from cold - might wary in another oven. At this point add cheese to the patty if you want cheese in it - Some of them have a slice in them, however any slice of cheese will work really. Build: Bottom bun, a spoon full of the pickled onions with a small dollop of mustard mixed in (to preference. The cheap yellow mustard works fine), the patty, and then the top bun with a layer of mayo to taste. If you are a ketchup fiend you can add that - however with the pickles it really doesn't need it. It seems a lot more involved that just nuking it - however it REALLY doesn't take more than a few min more to do when you have the hang of it - and it takes it from "edible" - to actually being good! - ALSO - if you are making more than 1 it might actually be faster than the microwave oven 😀In any case - it is TOTALLY worth the tiny bit of extra effort and cost almost nothing to make.
@@shaunsmith1825 Ok - well yes it sounds like you should just stick with a bottle of Heinz to upgrade your food m8! Here is a guide just for you: 1: Buy Heinz Ketchup 2: Remove the white plastic lid 3: Remove the piece of material blocking the hole. 4: Put the lid back on. (This is the point where you make the burger in the microwave oven) 5: Squeeze some ketchup out on a plate to avoid downing the burger in ketchup when you inevitably gorilla grip the bottle too hard. 6: dip the burger in the ketchup. 7: bite the burger 8: Chew for 20 seconds 9: Swallow Hope this helps!
Toasting the bun is one of those moves people think is smart but isn't, you just microwave the bun separately for a really short time just until it's soft and warm.
probably a British thing. Whenever I have this sort of thing, I wrap the bun in a paper towel and nuke it for a few seconds. the paper towel catches the moisture (if it's any good anyway), and I get the best you could probably make from a microwaved bun, usually.
Southeast U.S. here. I learned from black classmates and eventually co-workers to put jam or jelly on a breakfast sausage sandwich. Strawberry preservers is very nice.

Fondest memories of sitting in the kitchen eating a bowl of rice crispys and toast watching ashens ...that was 2014 !
My favorite, ashens microwave burger reviews! Also, the subtitles are messed up, it's delayed.
The subtitles are actually 5 to 10 seconds in the future. Weird.
Everytime I see a hotdog I think of what happened before with the bun lol, still funny to this day to me lol
Putting paper towel under the bun while microwaving will help keep it from going too spongy
If you flip the roll 180 degrees after microwaving it helps avoid the base getting too damp👍
Hey great timing! I just had my first rustler's cheeseburger! I'm an American expat in the UK, so I feel even more accepted now.
Oh. Prepare the toilet roll and make sure the flush works.
Are you proud of our culinary delights?
get the bbq rib steak and have a spring clean
@@whitetroutchannel Oh god. Yeah that's a bad one. So tasty, but oh so bad.
@@TheUltimateToad proper british food (casseroles, pies, braised and roasted meat, potatoes every way) is super similar to Southern American cuisine. We just also have a lot of scottish (fried foods) and caribbean and African influence. Crumpets are just biscuits there. Yorkshore Puds are popovers. same foods, different names. ~
The big difference ive come to realize is americans thnk British food looks bland because theres no artificial colourinmg allowed.
Even our meat in grocery stores is dyed bright red like a cartoon, so when an American sees a beautiful dark purple ribeye we think something is wrong with it.
British cuisine is comforting and delicious.
That MK3 Sector and Cyrax reference HIT
I love how there's a silhouette of someone playing tennis on the package...I doubt anyone eating this will be doing much beyond feeding cats in a plastic swimming pool, or scratching themselves through a moo-moo while watching their stories
ashens: it's burger time!
me, with a burger on the table: it sure is, you're right!!
Always love an Ashens upload. Especially food reviews 👌
i love ur food vids man this makes me happy to see
that opening burger, just...wow. even the frozen burgers we get here on occasion have some flavor of their own. They even include cheese too
They should come with sauce in the package. Presumably, you are buying this for the convenience, which means you're probably taking this to the office or something.
When I was in the UK living for a while, I was that poor with my wife that we ate nothing but home made pancakes made with water flour and sugar for 5 months, every meal. These would have been perfect
Did you get sick? That’s zero nutrients
I hope Ur life has improved and Ur living a better life my friend
Mortal Kombat reference in a burger tasting episode. The world is truly full of surprises.
That hotdog sounded absolutely vile by your chewing noises alone.
I've been eating microwave burgers for lunch all week. I got how to cook them down to a science. But they all taste like a microwave burger. 🤠
Fun fact, when @ashens say’s “grilling” he means what Americans call “broiling” in the oven using the heating element at the top. In colloquial American English “grilling” generally means barbecuing.
Eating homemade smash burgers to this. I feel blessed.
More food specials, please, Stuart 😁!

I might be weird but i love a steamed soggy hotdog bun 😂
Next time dont toast the bun, but rather toast the meat patty!
Finally the content I subbed for!
Ashens is like an anchor in time for when you get a nostalgia kick in the balls.
You can go back to Ashens and remember the good old times with every fresh episode 🥲
You really don't have to cut the bun in half. Butter the insides and toast it face down in a pan. We have what are called "New England" rolls in the northeast US that are flat on each side, which make it easy to toast them. Pre-packaged meat on buns never seems to be worth the price, no matter how cheap.
Butter it? Get a pan? For a microwave burger? Dafuq are you on about
@@blahmcblahface3965 Do you not sauté your cheap microwave burgers? Jk 😂🤣
It's called making the best out of crap food.@@blahmcblahface3965
Theres no way those stiff a$$ hot dog buns would survive being unfolded, they'd just break in two if you tried that.
I’m not gonna lie those things “looked” good. For less than a dollar, you add a slice of cheese, relish, ketchup, mustard, and onions I bet that would enhance it greatly.
Not putting the meat in would improve it even more!
Yooo the SNES repair guy !!!
@@spaceinvader7047 hello. 👋
Pimp it with scallions
@@bewilderbeestie I am ususally quite chill in regards to food processing but that they can still call that """""beef"""" is kinda worrying, that is a bit of beef, then fat, soy and a whole lotta magic
More food! I started watching you, oh, something like 10 years ago, maybe more, and I watched pretty much all your food videos. Haven't watched you in a few years, came back to see this and be happily surprised you're still at it, but this is the only food video in the last year!
Crazy to think I’ve been watching ashens for 15 years
I think Ashens kind of hit the nail on the head with that one; if you're super broke you are better served by like a bag of potatoes, rice, or pasta-and if you've the extra 50 cents to spare on even slightly better quick food, then those are probably the way to go.
Ashens - and anyone else who might have an interest in making these A LOT better with VERY little effort (except for like 30-45 min once every few months), here is what I used to do when I was single:
1: Once ever few months I bought a large bag of onions (usually 5kg) and a large bottle of cheap vinegar and a bag of sugar. The amount of sugar should be regulated to taste. I did 1 liter of vinegar, 1 liter of water, 1 kg of sugar. if you want a sweeter pickle add more sugar - and less if you want it less sweet. The 1/1/1 ration seemed to fit what I was going for.
Take a large pot, peel all the onions, chop them into pieces of your choice (I used a cheap food processor and just roughly chopped it in that) and put them in the pot. Pour in the vinegar, pour in the sugar, add a good amount of pepper (to taste) and about a ½ teaspoon of salt pr. kg of onions. Add an equal amount of water to the vinegar you are using. If you want it REALLY sour - ignore the water. I did that on my first go... lost several pairs of underpants while consuming that batch.
Bring the whole thing to a boil while lightly stirring it so it doesn't stick to the bottom. Let it boil for 2 minutes (less if you want more bite, more if you want them softer)
Move it off the stove and let it cool down to room temp.
Now put it in portions into freezer bags. Have 1 good container (like one of those Ikea food containers with the blue seal) to use for "fridge storage" - and make the portions to about the size which will fit in the container. Freeze the bags, leave a full container in the fridge for use. It will stay good for weeks - at least! Now you have months of "condiments" for these kinds of burgers and hotdogs (and wraps and what not).
Get a cheap airfryer - preferably one of those with a oven door. You can also use a toaster oven, but an airfryer is faster.
Put the patty on a small pan - or just a piece of tin foil with crumbled edges. Add a small amount of butter + salt and pepper to taste on top. put on the top shelf in the oven/airfryer.
Put the buns bellow in the oven.
Took about 4 min to make in the airfryer I had at 200C from cold - might wary in another oven.
At this point add cheese to the patty if you want cheese in it - Some of them have a slice in them, however any slice of cheese will work really.
Build: Bottom bun, a spoon full of the pickled onions with a small dollop of mustard mixed in (to preference. The cheap yellow mustard works fine), the patty, and then the top bun with a layer of mayo to taste. If you are a ketchup fiend you can add that - however with the pickles it really doesn't need it.
It seems a lot more involved that just nuking it - however it REALLY doesn't take more than a few min more to do when you have the hang of it - and it takes it from "edible" - to actually being good! - ALSO - if you are making more than 1 it might actually be faster than the microwave oven 😀In any case - it is TOTALLY worth the tiny bit of extra effort and cost almost nothing to make.
I'm not a flipping chef!
@@shaunsmith1825 Ok - well yes it sounds like you should just stick with a bottle of Heinz to upgrade your food m8!
Here is a guide just for you:
1: Buy Heinz Ketchup
2: Remove the white plastic lid
3: Remove the piece of material blocking the hole.
4: Put the lid back on.
(This is the point where you make the burger in the microwave oven)
5: Squeeze some ketchup out on a plate to avoid downing the burger in ketchup when you inevitably gorilla grip the bottle too hard.
6: dip the burger in the ketchup.
7: bite the burger
8: Chew for 20 seconds
9: Swallow
Hope this helps!
Ashens always does an anime characters impression of biting into something

Well, at least it’s better than the 20-year-old cake
Toasting the bun is one of those moves people think is smart but isn't, you just microwave the bun separately for a really short time just until it's soft and warm.
Agreed. But, I guess, some people like their burger bun have texture of a toast, for some reason?
probably a British thing.
Whenever I have this sort of thing, I wrap the bun in a paper towel and nuke it for a few seconds. the paper towel catches the moisture (if it's any good anyway), and I get the best you could probably make from a microwaved bun, usually.
That couch has become priceless
These videos have a nostalgic feel to them at this point, thanks bro
Your intro already takes me back to simpler, better times
been going through your whole playlist. love these food specials.
A minute forty is an insanely long time to microwave a hot dog. Like dog alone for 30 seconds, then the bun for 10, that's it.
The way the hotdog bun was cut infuriated me to no end...
Getting a toaster with a bagel function changed my life
This is the most cartoonish hot dog I’ve ever seen
Southeast U.S. here. I learned from black classmates and eventually co-workers to put jam or jelly on a breakfast sausage sandwich. Strawberry preservers is very nice.
The food videos that Ashens make are so fun to watch!
11:32 as a kid who's my grandma kept these kinds of easy microwave meals around as I was afraid of her stove I know the 3 stages of microwave bread grief TOO well 😂😂
