    Making frozen hamburgers in the air fryer is very easy. The air fryer burgers cook quickly and evenly each and every time.

    Air fryers are simply  revolutionizing the way that we cook in our kitchens.

    We have previously shared how to make the perfect fresh Air Fryer Hamburger and how to compliment it with frozen Air Fryer French Fries. Maybe you want to turn it into a Homemade Big Massive Burger!

    There are times when we don't have time to thaw out the burgers before we toss them in the air fryer.

    That is okay! You can air fry frozen burgers!

    It works!

    CAN YOU COOK A FROZEN HAMBURGER IN AN AIR FRYER

    Yes, you can cook a frozen hamburger in an air fryer.

    This is a question we see almost daily in our air fryer facebook group!

    Whether you cook your burger in the frozen or fresh form, it comes out consistently juicy and delicious when made in the air fryer.

    I appreciate the consistency of how the air fryer cooks.

    You can cook thin or thick burgers in your air fryer.

    You may need to adjust the time depending on the size and thickness of your burger. It is best to use a meat thermometer.

    How to make Frozen Hamburgers in Air Fryer

    Place your hamburger patty into the basket/tray of your air fryer.

    Cook your air fryer burger for 8-10 minutes at 350F/176C. At the 5 minute mark (halfway through cooking your hamburger), flip the patty over to ensure that it will cook evenly.

    When the air fryer is done cooking, you can add a slice of cheese and continue cooking for 1 minutes at 350 degrees F to melt the cheese. (optional)

    Remove the hamburger from the air fryer basket and place onto bun.

    Add desired toppings, and enjoy!

    HOW LONG DO YOU COOK A FROZEN HAMBURGER PATTY IN AN AIR FRYER?

    The average sized frozen burger patty will take about 10 minutes to cook.

    Cook time will depend on the size of patty you have and how you like your meat cooked.

    ARE AIR FRYER BURGERS KETO?

    It depends on the burger.

    You need to check the ingredient labels of all burgers you purchase or all ingredients you purchase to make your burgers.

    Always, always read the labels to confirm it fits your dietary needs. If you are gluten-free, I suggest that you try this Gluten Free Bread with your air fried hamburger!

    WHY DOES MY AIR FRYER SMOKE?

    If your air fryer smokes while you are cooking a food where the grease drains, like hamburgers or bacon, you might add a tablespoon or two of water to the inner basket.

    Other readers have suggested putting a piece of bread between the air fryer baskets to catch the grease.
