Time to look at some speedy-quick microwave burger things from Rustlers, who to my mind made the best of such things before making this video. Do I still think so afterwards? You'll have to watch the video to find out! Or read this word: Yes.
Covered in this video are:
Mini Sausage Bap
BBQ Rib Burger
Classic Hot Dog
Southern Fried Chicken Sub
Deluxe Bacon Cheeseburger
Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off Road Heated Meat Snack
Pancake Stack

Ashens is the one youtuber where you can watch a video from 14 years ago, and then 2022, and you can confidently say he's NEVER changed. You're awesome man.
And mean it in a good way! Lovely brown sofa 🤎
Absolutely, been watching since high school and I’m glad he hasn’t changed.
@@Corkoth55 that sofa is a national treasure at this point. Has seen it all
You also couldn't tell which video is 14 years ago and which happened today other than from the date on the packets
Yahtzee and Zero Punctuation is kinda similar in that way. Makes me wonder if Yahtzee and Ashens were separated at birth.
I like how they put "add your own sauce" like it's a selling point
Ever had old, frozen, prepackaged mayo or ketchup?
This may be a selling point for *someone* lol
@@skay1992 they could spend a whole like 10 more cents to get like a ketchup packet to bundle in with those
@@whyiwakeup6460 cents? We don't use those
@@skay1992 it is for me. I frequently throw away those packets and use something else anyway.
For a sausage cob it sort of makes sense as there is a bit of a split between folk who would have brown sauce and people who would want ketchup (personally I would want bacon 🤣)
I ate 28 of the rib sandwiches once because they were past their sell-by date and the shop next door wanted to dump them. The next morning I passed something the size and proportions of a dead antelope in a greased sleeping bag. 10/10 would recommend.
Twenty. Eight.
What?
@@kevintrang6447 man was hungry
28 in a single day is insane that literally blew my mind
@@MetamorphosisYa definitely blew his arse apart too
The reason why the original commenter isn't responding anymore.
It's official, Ashens has once again turned his lunch into content.
Ashens has found a different kind of sewer system to process the remains of his lunch
Well,we need Ashens to do the 'Try Before We by' so we kow what we are getting.
Or his content into lunch? Nobody knows.
he's made a career off of discount foods and tat.
And he even admitted that he absolutely loves one of them. He just couldn't hide his true feelings that day.
I was like, hey, I haven't watched a microwave burger video in years, I wonder if Ashens has any good microwave burger videos, and here I am, this man has never stopped providing the content I crave at 6 AM
Such a odd thing to crave. Yet here we both are.
That makes the three of us.
@@DrMogilus
*Slowly and sheepishly raises hand*
We are legion
I swear ashens is perfect 6am content and idk why that is
I predict that Rustlers would sell even better with Ashens' face on the front and the tagline "They're sometimes adequate!"
That would be epic. You might even be right. Although I'm not sure Ashens is quite enough of a household name for that to actually work...
In the words of the infallible Sir Gannon, "I'd buy tha'!" 😁
Honestly, If I see some instant microwave food that calls itself unironically "adequate" I would go for it. At least they know they aren't Michelin star fine dining and don't pretend they make food on that quality.
One microwave burger here even writes on the package to "pimp your burger" by throwing salad and sauces and stuff on there. They know that makes the whole thing much better.
16 year old channel, legend
@@PiousMoltar I've seen some of the people they get on food packets. I think he's about the same level of fame.
I cannot look at microwave burgers in the supermarket without thinking of Ashens, it's really a trigger that makes me look up the channel again regularly
Same, I even noticed the £1 sandwiches in Poundland yesterday because of that video.
Same, but with anything in Poundland/Poundworld/any other pound store
And me… haha!
What I do with these microwave things like this is:I take them out of the package they will heat in(if they have one) and wrap it in a single to double layer of paper towel. This makes them not damp and hard usually, I don’t know how this would turn out in a British microwave as I’ve only done this in the USA microwaves.
that's how HE GETS YOU MUAHAHAHA
I don't think I've ever heard the expiry date of a microwave burger measured in British Prime Ministers before.
This needs to become the standard.
Use by 1½ liz truss'
It can be one of the benefits of Brexit! Up there with crowns on pint pots (which never went away but don't tell the Daily Mail readers that)!
It’s our new metric system
Sign of the times
@@cjtquk Luckily it's not measured in queens.
It would be expired.
Because she's dead.
I used to work at a pretty remote company with no canteen and not many nearby shops so one of the guys took to setting up his own tuck shop. He used to sell rustlers for a few quid, but he’d toast the bun, use his own sauce, real cheddar, sliced fresh tomatoes and lettuce. When you do all that, Rustlers are actually a very decent snack!
Whenever I feel tired and upset, I come here to watch stupid products being tested by one of the best youtube voices of all time. Much Love Ashens.
Yeah good luck buddy
Imagine being the cashier, and seeing this maniac approach with one of each kind Rustlers burger…
Seeing anyone anywhere near these fine products should be worrying indeed.
I can guarantee you this would not even be in the top 5 weird things any supermarket or petrol station cashier sees in any given day
In his suit and red tie. Pop stations falling out his pockets.
And him saying "Helloooooo"
@@Stu5727 Or even in the last 5 minutes.
"About one-and-a-half Prime Ministers, I think."
Ah, she's gonna give us a lot of good comedy material, is Liz.
Was thinking the same thing. Wonder how that lettuce is doing?
If only the burger had lettuce...
@@Xaintrix it's probably joined the PM candidates list by now
Can we nominate Ashens for PM please?
Consistent?✔
Knows the cost of a pint of milk?✔
Represents the common man? ✔
Talks like a human being?✔
Literally would be more competent than any pm in my lifetime.
@@dragonforcehair9739 But those are also all the reasons why the Tories would never elect him as party leader, so …
I am a Canadian and I think the reason fake maple syrup is thicker is because usually it's just coloured, flavoured corn syrup.
Here in the USA you have say Aunt Jemima pancake syrup, it's just sugar and butter flavored corn syrup, no maple at all. I grew up in Northern PA, lots of maple trees, so I always had maple syrup growing up. Actually my father's side of the family had a maple syrup business...
butter/sugar flavored syrups are ok, but I guess when you grow up with Maple everything else is just a poor imitation.
The ingredients list golden syrup as main part of the "maple sauce", which is also a lot thicker. And then they added corn flour for some reason.
Yeah I was gonna say… we like our Real Maple Syrup (tm) here in the northeastern United States too, I’m from New Hampshire and a lot of people in my hometown do syrup making as a hobby, maple products are sold at every tourist trap and museum gift shop… you do still have to pay extra for it at restaurants though which is kinda shitty
And, of course, you can make maple syrup as thick as you wish just by continuing to boil off water. Like everything in a market-driven economy, the logical incentive is to maximize profit and make it as watery as possible.
Mmmmm corn syrup...
I've not watched Ashens in about 8 years... this video looks the exact same as the last one I watched. Gotta give you credit, you're extremely consistent!
One doesn't screw with perfection.
Imagine not having to change your content in over a decade and still consistently make bangers. This guy fucking rocks.
During these difficult times we trust Ashens to guide us which burger should be our only daily meal for the rest of upcoming winter.
@Teamgeist a true survivor will find a way to run a microwavr
@Teamgeist they are precooked. They just need heat. You could heat them anyway neccessary. Wrap em in foil and put on fire coals if you need, or under hood of a warm car engine. Dont need to neccesarily use microwave, its just the most convenient/consistent for printed instructions
@Teamgeist No I understood that. But you also mentioned they couldn't be prepared with a "camping cooker", which to me implied they couldn't be cooked without electricity... I was only commenting alternative ways they could be cooked with no electricity... my statement agreed with your "Humourous" implication. I just gave some alternatives to use in that situation.
I'd Wrap it in foil and put it on my exhaust manifold of my Chevy after getting it up to temp. Rotate @ 5 min. Finished after ten...
I'm talking about burritos. Idk aorry
The oversized container is because that's how big they used to be and the company is using up their old stock before switching to the new size.
Are you sure that they haven't shrunk in the wash?
Read what you wrote. theyre big how they used t be and old stock. hahaha
@@emeraldhill8294 old stock of containers. And if you're going to mock someone's Grammer/English at least use the correct way yourself.
They are just using the surplus sausage from the sausage muffins with the buns from their standard burgers is my guess in whatever spare size boxes they have left
@@cjtquk I've seen similar things like this here in the US. As the cost of supplies/ingredients goes up companies have two options, charge more or reduce portion sizes (sometimes they do both). The fact that there's a sticker tells me that they shrunk the portion, but are using what remains of the old container. Then they will come in a new smaller one.
I've been watching Ashens for nearly 12 years now, it's crazy it's been this long and he still remains one of my favorite RUclipsrs. This man is and will remain a national treasure. Thanks for the laughs all these years.
Based
@@Chives1797 based? Based on what? English you troglodyte.
The crisping sleeve's inside is probably a susceptors. From Wikipedia "Susceptors are usually made of metallised film, ceramics or metals (such as aluminium flakes)." so yeah, it's probably metal. There are actually safe ways to microwave metal, which is why some even come with mital racks. Also, just a reminder that the inner walls of the microwave(I'm sure there's a better word to describe it) are completely metal.
The danger comes when there's places for an arc to form. Microwaving a spoon will do basically nothing, but the same with a fork is a bad idea
@@ALYZZAOFDEATHThunderbolts and lightning! Very, very frightening to me!
the asian landlord showed me how to microwave a metal bowl, and i did so as head chef, and my uncle the owner of the restaurant freaked out because i put metal in the microwave lmao.
its ok because its smooth, as he said....
It's mainly sharp or pointed edges which cause a problem in microwave ovens, because they act as focus points, getting extremely hot and converting the microwave energy into visible plasma and sparks. Which is why foil in the microwave is the worst idea - it is extremely thin for a start, and if there are any folds or crinkles, these make hundreds or thousands of these focus points, making sparks all over. Flat metal surfaces with no thin edges or sharp points are fine, because the microwaves just bounce off, like they do from the interior walls of the microwave oven. One of the worst microwave experiences I had was from heating water in a mug - which had one of those shiny iridescent coatings on the outside. The water heated up reasonably well, though didn't get to boiling point. But the coating on the mug got insanely hot because it was essentially a thin layer of metal, which I didn't find out until I tried to pick it up.
The heating within the microwave oven is not uniform, because the intensity of microwave radiation varies a lot depending on the position and where the microwaves are bouncing around - this is why microwave ovens often have turntables to try and even out the heating for anything you are cooking. You can determine the pattern of where the microwaves are going with some thermal paper - the type used in fax machines and supermarket receipt printers. This paper contains a compound which turns black when heated, so the printers using it don't need ink, they just have a series of heating elements which are selectively activated in sequence to form the pattern of whatever they are printing out.
Just lay some of this paper out on the bottom surface of the microwave oven (with the turntable removed if there is one) and spray in just enough water to make the paper damp. You can fix some to the side walls too if you like, using some paper tape like masking tape. Then run the microwave oven at full power for about 30 seconds. The moisture on the paper absorbs the microwaves and converts them to heat (this is how microwave ovens cook food), and the heat turns the paper black in areas where the microwaves are most intense. This reveals the pattern of where the microwaves are most and least intense.
Ashens has reviewed so much poundland food he's accidentally started liking it. Lol
He has so much charisma, that even watching him eat ready made burgers is entertaining.
Agreed Feather Cat, reminds me of my mate Vince but food related instead
@Mister Rattlebones sorry Mister Rattlebones
He has the charisma, but I find people eating things and saying how they are is somewhat entertaining on a baseline.
Nah, we're just here because 15 years ago there was nothing better to watch on RUclips. It's Stockholm Syndrome at this point.
@Mister Rattlebones then why are you on this video you trog
Ashens gets a 10 out of 10 for consistency.
This man has been doing the same thing since 2006 (Or 2004 if you count Google Video.)
Watching a British man review tat or eat terrible food never gets old
I hope he's a multi-millionaire from eating £1 Rustlers and filming it. It makes me feel as though we can achieve anything.
i like how some content can get old but ashen's content somehow doesn't get old
Hey, why you badmouthing Rustlers for?
@@purpleheartfan4762 Who's badmouthing Rustlers? 😀 I'm just saying it's great he does this and hopefully does well from it.
I wonder if the couch is still the same or a stunt double?
If you tosted the buns within a short period of time, subsequent buns can get more toasty because the toaster is preheated instead of heating from cold.
I can’t believe that I’ve been watching Ashens since I was 8 and now I’ll be turning 21. He has had amazing and consistent content for years and has never failed to make a video I don’t want to watch.
“I did a review of a cheap microwaveable hotdog and the bun just fell in half and everyone complained to me about it, It fell in half you watched it happened” that made me laugh to much because I remember that video and it bothered me but in a funny way, i love that you mentioned it here
It was because the bun was weak, not that the bun was cut in half, although the driving factor to that bun was that it was cut from top to bottom, we cut it from side to side
The prime minister joke was hilarious, and I'm not even British. Ashen, after 15 years, you are still the greatest entertainer on RUclips. Hats off, sir.
I’m a conservative but it was hilarious. Ash is very witty, always has something to say to win an argument 😂😂😂
@@mrwhoannon300 I hate the Tories but sadly at this point they're the best of the bunch. Even though they are terrible. And seem to be going through an especially bad patch. And I'm a lefty really. But the so-called left wing parties are all insane. But so are the Tories. In some ways they're way too right wing for me. In other ways they're way too... "left wing". Or at least, too "woke". I dunno basically we're completely screwed. There's nobody worth voting for.
@@PiousMoltar Yeah mate, tons of people love to talk down on the Tories, it’s definitely understandable in the current climate but also because it’s trendy, but we’ve had to go through Brexit and a World War is on the horizon and the world has half the gas supply it did before, the whole world is suffering right now not just the UK but Brits are so blind to that. In my opinion the whole government needs an Overhaul. Boris was a strong leader in my opinion, should never have left. Didn’t mind Cameron either, and not being sexist but May and Truss were just a laughing stock. They were weak leaders. Maybe Sunak will be a good move only time will tell. However the Tories have won back some votes especially in the Indian/Pakistani communities with electing Sunak.
@@PiousMoltar If you refer to the Tories as "the best of the bunch", you're not left-wing. Please for the love of god stop saying you're a "lefty" when you're absolutely not. And while you're at it, stop thinking in terms of left and right.
Think about the overall political scale.
Do you believe in the importance of capitalism?
Do you believe in the importance of protecting a state's people above all else? (Socialism)
Do you believe in a strong leader, strong military, and a fiercely dogmatic nation? (Fascism)
Think about those, then form your opinion. At this point, you're just playing sides and it helps absolutely nobody.
@@ArchitectGG I like socialism
How has this man gone like half a decade and still not run out of this very specific brand of microwave food?
There's plenty to go around in pound shops and dollar stores. :p
To be fair, Ashens, people weren't complaining because the hotdog bun fell in half, people were complaining that you cut the top instead of the side.
Ashens: "You see dinner, I see content. We're not the same."
You can’t go wrong with Rustlers there’s the only microwave burgers that don’t make you feel sick afterwards
Especially those bbq rib things... you know they're bad in every way and yet they taste phenomenal!
Add some mature cheddar for extra taste and minus health points!
If it's not "beef"
Sorry but you can go wrong.
@@ebanksstudios it is
@@jaexiusnem1267 microwave burgers are lovely
Pity Ashens didn't remember the crisping sleeve from the Tesco frozen cheese toastie from years back. It deserved an honourable mention.
"Signature Sauce" is probably some variation of Thousand Island Dressing. It's what In-N-Out Burger uses.
I completely understand the way Ashens feels about the rib patties. We got them sometimes for school lunch and that was one of my favorite things they served.
we in the netherlands have a snack called a ''mexicano'' which is quite similar to this
They’re delicious and I hate myself for thinking that.
every time the bring the mcrib back i go into a blood rage until i get to eat one so i understand how stuart feels
I got them as well but they didn’t come on a bun, it came with a side of white rice.
I have heard you can get them at McDonald's but I've never figured out how to do that.
Watching a grown man eat microwave food on his couch is Quality entertainment
Am I going to spend 23 minutes of my life watching a man eating microwaved burgers? Yep!
And we'll enjoy it too
edit: 23 minutes later, I was right
Well, the last few minutes are pancakes
I literally rewatch these microwave videos obsessively. please never stop, Stuart.
Good thing you said "literally". I 'd hate for anyone to think you were speaking rhetorically. Or hyperbolically. Or ironically. Thank you for making that distinction.
Back when I was a teenager working in a cash & carry, I pretty much lived off of these things. The key with the buns, is to make sure you turn them over halfway through to prevent them going soggy. Sometimes I would even do them separately, for about 30 seconds in total and then add the burger back in after. When the ones with crisper sleeves came out it was a game changer. Oh the good old days 😆
In a world of never ending change it is nice to have someone who is dedicated to eternal consistency and quality
Ashens is one those old
School RUclipsrs that you’re glad are still around
I love the fact he wants to stay original even to the point where he still has the same couch. Keep on doing what you do man your a legend
Someone once said "never change Ashens" and he took it personally. Great content as always
Love how the wrongly cut bun and the reaction to it in the video from years ago still lives on in his and everyone else's mind!
Which video is that from?
@@VortexKiller2 look for ashens hot dog, its a 4 year old video with an american style hotdog two pack
I literally still have no clue what people are even angry about. Was it the fact that the bun split completely in two, or was it the way the bun was cut? People seem to not be able to give a straight answer. What Ashens himself seems to think is that everyone got mad that the bun was cut into two halves, but I've seen people say that the problem was that he cut the bun in the wrong way.
@@monkeysaru3957 it's was the fact he cut it down the centre instead of separating the top and bottom
@@Mortonbmx Literally everyone in Britain does that, it's the British custom when it comes to hotdogs. A bunch of Americans basically gang-pilled a British guy for doing something British. It just seems like a bit of a silly American-centric nonsense, if you ask me.
its nice to see ashens actually enjoying food he reviews. i love this channel its always been there for me through the good times and the bad thank you ashens.
I can agree with Ashens that the BBQ rib sandwich is bloody brilliant! I also love the chicken sub and the southern fried chicken burger!! 🍗🍔😋
if you flip the bun over when it first comes out of the microwave for 15 seconds or so, it helps with the "damp" side
To be fair the bread should only need about 10-15 secs total, just looking for that warm steamed bun.
I turn it upside down and let it cool a little bit, then slap the sauce on
We can't be having that soggy bottom now can we?
You can also use a little thing called a toaster
@@dq7860 don't actually have one, so no i can't
A box (or bag) of frozen pancakes is absolutely a thing here in the US. The reason for the viscosity of the "syrup" might be because in the US, pancakes are more often served with a corn-syrup based pancake syrup, rather than real maple syrup, which can be crazy expensive. As in, way more than five times as much money for the same amount of syrup.
Yeah, but people generally use a lot less of the real stuff because the flavor is so much richer. Comparing them one-to-one isn't fair.
More like 10x+
frozen pancakes are a thing in sweden too, and they're honestly exactly the same as fresh ones. Granted these are thin ones, not thick fluffy american ones.
We use syrup made from sugar beets, however. Feels just slightly less wholesome than honey.
Yep! Frozen pancakes and waffles are for sure a thing in the USA. It is nice to have when you have a bunch of kids and need to run off in the morning or if you work a lot and need fast breakfast.
Actually stack of 6 scotch pancakes is about 70p fresh and they are same as American ones
When I was a child I INSISTED my parents buy me a rustlers hot Dog despite the fact we had no microwave (my parents are still slightly afraid of microwaves in the year 2022). My poor parents had to try to cook me this rustlers hot Dog on the stove and grill with no real idea of what they were doing 😂
how hard can it be to throw a sausage in a pan and bread on a toaster.
(which is the only way to make these taste somewhat ok)
I feel sorry for your parents. Microwaves are safe. Do they own cell phones???
Microwaves are safe nowadays. Come a long way from what they used to be.
Weirdo Karen flat earth we parents. Sue them for abuse scum lords
Sucks to have irabian parents
I love how ashens never give up on these microwave burgers and sausages
I love small community’s like ashens and dankpods so much, it’s such “real” content compared to the RUclipsrs who are always yelling stuff and have wacky edits, it seems so fake. But content like Dankpods, Ashens, Qxir and gradeAunderA feel so nice and *real*

Add SteveMRE1989 to the list
The crisping sleeve IS "metal-y" - metal is perfectly fine to put in the microwave, especially if it's a high-resistance design like that, and it doesn't have jagged edges conducive to arc formation, and doesn't accidentally make contact with the microwave's inner metal shield. Or some combination of those elements.
Yes, you can put a spoon in a microwave typically, or a knife, it's forks or crumpled aluminum foil that causes the arching.
You can put cake decorating tips in the microwave. Generally they're not in there long enough to cause a problem, as long as it doesn't touch the sides of the microwave.
@Latest Obssesion First off, FOIL, as related to the conversation is a metal, hammered into sheets and used to cover/protect food. I told you to check the definition RELATED TO THE CONVERSATION, but I guess your reading skills are as quick and as sharp as a butter knife in molasses. Secondly, the crisping sleeves used in microwaves are indeed metallic. They're called "susceptors" and are made of metallized films, ceramics, and metal (such as aluminum flakes).
@Latest Obssesion Congrats on knowing you're wrong! The foil sleeves you cook hot pockets and whatnot in are metal. You may've been sarcastic about it but you're right in that you're wrong.
@Latest Obssesion Dude, give it a rest. I recently purchased a new microwave and the manual explicitly tells you that you CAN put metal (and even aluminium foil) into it, as long as you keep it at least 2cm away from the edges. It even comes with a metal tri-stand like raiser for using the grill and a huge metal pan to heat frozen pizza. (You first start the grill to heat up the metal pan, then put in the pizza and the microwave oven uses both its microwaves as well as the grill to heat up the pizza.
That whole "no metals ever into a microwave" was only a thing for the very early/first models and hasn't been a real concern since at least the early 2000s.
Ashens will always be my favourite comfort channel. I’ve been watching his channel for 10 years now, he’s one of the first channels I ever started watching. I love that his content is always just like it was back in the day :)
Same here. It's just relaxing and reassuring, especially the food reviews. Wish he'd do more of those, actually.
Same! His videos always put a smile on my face.
Laid in bed, feeling crappy and then an Ashens video appears on my feed, sensing my need for comfort like a pair of old slippers. Excellent timing.
i have such a soft spot for microwavable burgers. our elementary school actually had some delicious hamburgers back in the day. i remember being shocked by how good they were and they were the only thing on the school lunch menu (aside from hot ham and cheese) that didn't make me sick. i went years trying to find something similar and sure enough tried a frozen burger for grins and it tasted so similar to the school lunch burger of my childhood.
This is like asking someone 'which is the best strain of Ebola?'
I have to admit I love the rib sandwich myself too, though I've found an amazing kitchen hack for that; put the meat-related slab product into a lightly oiled frying pan and cook 'til it has nice bits on it, and toast the bun in the toaster, assemble and it tastes just like real food... :P
Ooh now that's an escalation I can get on board with. Does create washing up though, the nemesis of the microwaved lunch.
This is the first time I’m watching Ashens, and I’m quite pleased. I shall delve deeper into this channel.
Welcome to the Ashens-verse!
You won't be disappointed
The knock off toy reviews are hilarious 😂

I’ve been watching this man’s content since I was about eleven years old. I am now nearing the age of 20, and I still do. He hasn’t changed a bit, and I would never want him to.
Thanks Stuart, you and your lovely
brown couch have practically raised me.
Get a job.
I didn't use RUclips for a few years and recently came across your videos again. a refreshing change to see your videos are exactly the same as where I left off. Love it 😀
Others have already said it, but it really shows Ashens genius in his content creation. His videos are very consistent. Other RUclips channels are constantly trying to "innovate" which often just means they lose their original charm and alienate their original subscribers.
You see it time and time again when the creator of a channel thinks of themselves as more important than the content they create and push more of their personality into their videos, which eventually takes away from the content. You end up unsubscribing because you realise that the channel you subscribed to is no longer the one you signed on for.
Never change, Ashens. Found your videos about 12 years ago and I never feel like I've out of the loop when I jump back in.
BBQ Rib Burgers really are the best. I have the same liking for them. Don’t know what it is. Maybe pig eyelids and scrotums go perfect with bbq sauce in a wet and soggy bun 😋 Mmmmmh, Steamed Hams
Before Ashens I didn't even knew that I needed microwave burgers reviews in my life. Now, that's the only content ever anywhere that I watch regularly without missing any single episode.
God bless you Stewart.
I've been going through a horrible fever for 4 days but I swear seeing that Ashens uploaded a new video and that there is the word "microwave" in the title just cured me by 50%
We're pretty familiar with fake maple syrup here in North America. Even if you live somewhere that produces maple syrup, it's pretty expensive compared to the maple-flavored imitation stuff. The sort of thing I'd eat with a nice plate of pancakes at a restaurant, not cheap pancakes from a box or something.
@pookapalooka It's not just a specialty store thing. It's something you can buy at Walmart. But it's about 6 times more expensive per ounce than imitation syrup. (7 cents per ounce for the imitation and 45 cents per ounce for the real maple syrup).
I like how the "Add your own sauce" is so prominent on the front like it's a unique selling point
It's so amazing to quite literally watch this channel for years and years and it's so consistent. That shows a true entertainer.. Never chased a trend never tried to game the algorithm.. Just a consistent quality channel thank you
Always put Rustlers in the oven for around 5 to 10mins, you won't regret it, that has been Paddy's Top Tip 😀👍 🤣🤣
I live on the east coast US and I buy huge cheap packs of frozen pancakes like those. I actually enjoy them and they are fast. They don't indicate the option for toasting in a toaster, probably due to the danger of moisture. They come wrapped individually in packs of 3. You get a whole pile of the packs in one big pack. What I do is spray some nonstick on a plate, pour some egg substitute on it and lay the pancakes out over the eggs, microwave for about 2:30-3 minutes, and put on butter and syrup (or honey or jam). Wonderful fast breakfast. The spray is for the eggs. That stuff sticks to the plate in the microwave like gorilla glue.
😂 your whole thing about the soggy hot dog bun made me laugh. Many times in the US they specifically steam the buns to get that spongy texture.
@Latest Obssesion It keeps it from being dry and gives it the “straight out of the oven” kind of feel.
@Latest Obssesion what about hams?
Babe wake up new ashens cursed burger video just dropped
I'm here for the cartoon "Nomph!" sound he makes each time he bites into a burger.
Never change, Stuart.

"One and a half Prime Ministers"
Damn 😂
but will it outlast a lettuce?
I find it hilarious when he mentions that one hotdog video. I'm 100% positive that he cut the bun in the wrong direction on purpose so that he could make everyone mad and then joke about it years later. I've heard him mention it twice now, about how the bun just supposedly fell apart on its own, and the first time I actually went back and checked because I thought "oh, wow, I hadn't realized that, I thought it was him but apparentely I was wrong!". When I watched it back, I burst out laughing at how unebelievably obvious it was that the cut was made by him.
what's the vid title?
@@Stu5727 American Style Hot Dogs. It's as cursed as I remembered.
@@davidmcgill1000 those hotdogs were cursed
I literally still have no clue what people are even angry about. Was it the fact that the bun split completely in two, or was it the way the bun was cut? People seem to not be able to give a straight answer. What Ashens himself seems to think is that everyone got mad that the bun was cut into two halves, but I've seen people say that the problem was that he cut the bun in the wrong way.
@@monkeysaru3957 Suppose to cut it from the side, half way. Not cleave it in two with a bread knife.
I absolutely swear by Rustlers' Chicken Subs. They are quite honestly the best thing you can eat out of a microwave from a fridge. Asda have their own brand of these and they are alarmingly similar - identical taste, setup, everything - and they taste just as good.
Homebrand stuff would probably be more worth it considering that homebrand foods tend to be more cheaper than the actual brands.
I always love those ones
I completely agree with you about the rib sandwiches. Back in 2002 while at 6th form there was a little shop outside of school run by Pete. He used to sell these Rustler pork rib sandwiches but serve them in a paper bag as if they were ‘home made’. It took me years to realize….but I don’t hold a grudge i loved them.
I just dont understand why I like so much to watch this british man eating weird old stuff from his sofa.
The world is burning (from my perspective as a marginalized person in the US among others), my life is radically different since I first watched a vid from this channel, yet, Ashens is always constant, not even just "still around" but straight up consistent.
It brings a strange comfort even if it's a video about a microwave burger.
I think you should buy a pack of those microwave sleeves (susceptors is their proper name) and do a re-review of some bun-in-microwave burgers.
I suppose it would be more of a review of the microwave sleeves themselves but I think it would work as a video.
They do indeed have metal, just a very thin coat and it's surrounded by another layer of plasticy stuff to prevent any sparks forming.
I've not had a Rustlers for 15 year but I know exactly how it tastes.
Man always love your dodgy food reviews and weirdly enough they always make me hungry for a dodgy burger😂.. keep up the good work.
Here's what you do with the hot dog bun. Open it up, take a fork and stab the bun from end. Turn on your burner on your stovetop and toast the bun on the inside. You can also toast the bun opened up in your oven under the broiler, inside facing up. Love your videos.
YES NEW ASHENSBURGERS
...at this point Ashens should just open a burger restaurant
This channel is the RUclips definition of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
You are so genuine. You've never forgotten where you came from. Humble is a good word to use. Keep up the good work Stu. 👏🏻
I had no idea this was 2 months ago!! I was expecting this to be around 2013-2014. Stuart Ashens you legend!
It's nice to see ashens enjoy the food he eats on the channel, and its nice to see him review food that's not from 1385
I remember the hotdog was released years ago and it had a sachet of crispy onions bits, the chicken sub was about then too, i think they also did a cheesy chicken sub too
An Ashens food special where the food is still in date even at the time of uploading the vid. This will split the space time continuum in half surely!
The "one-and-a-half prime ministers" really made me spit my tea out. Good one Sir Stuart Clive Ashen.
Wait, "Sir"?! When did he get knighted (not that he doesn't deserve it)?!
2:30 I don't know why but that jumpcut made me laugh so hard
After all these years, dudes still poppin’
Absolute legend
I subscribed to your channel for this content and I'm glad it's back! I work at a 7-11 and sometimes these kinds of meals are all I can realistically manage. Even though they often aren't exactly the same over here in the states it's still very educational and gives me a good idea what to look out for.
What is a 7-11 is it like 9-11
@@K_ingh16 It is a convenience store/gas station. If you've ever seen Apu's store from The Simpsons, that is a parody of stores like 7-11, if not a direct parody. They have a whole bunch of 'instant meals' and microwavable things of questionable edibility. If you have ever heard of a 'Slurpee' (semi frozen sugary drink) that's where they come from.
@@K_ingh16funnily enough they did consider changing their name after the attack
@@GreigerBDragon we used to have 7-11 in the UK mid 80's, it was novel as it the 1st place you could microwave your burgers, which we used to pile on down from school , also get a slush puppy. Not sure they still exist here, haven't seen one since the 80's
There are actually some newer style Rustlers burgers that come in a cardboard box that you place into the microwave without unpacking it. They're actually not too bad
Tesco's sell them as part of their lunch meal deal.
Seen them in the meal deal section a few times. Have held off as I’m lazy and just want a sandwich or at most a pasta. May try it
@@chriswyatt9869 Love how we've got to the point where a microwave burger is considered too much effort
The Ashens Microwave Burger Saga has been among your best work, Stuart.
One of the few RUclipsrs who genuinely makes my day better. Great content, good vibes, funny. Went nuts when I forgot this channel name for a few months, went on a Reddit and Google search hunt until I found this channel again and it's been a nightly ritual watching Ashens.
"slight porkiness to it". That's what I want out of my 100% pork product.
