Last Updated on September 15, 2024 by Shari Mason

Craving White Castle burgers? Gotcha! **No worries** if you’ve never whipped them up yourself before; it’s super easy!

Through my own experiences, I have discovered foolproof methods and simple steps on how to cook frozen White Castle burgers.

Best Ways To Cook Frozen White Castle Burgers

1. In The Microwave

Start by removing the burgers from the packaging. I place the frozen burgers on a microwave-safe plate. I cover the burgers with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.

Cook on high power for 35 seconds if it’s thawed or 60 seconds if frozen. Carefully remove the plate from the microwave, and let the burgers rest for one minute before eating.

If the burgers are not cooked to your liking at this point, you can cook them in fifteen-second increments until they are done to your liking.

Once they are fully cooked, top them with your favorite condiments and enjoy.

2. In The Toaster Oven

To cook your White Castle burgers in the toaster oven, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, place the burgers on the top wire rack inside the toaster oven. 

Ensure they are not touching each other or the sides of the toaster oven, as this will lead to uneven cooking.

Next, toast the burgers for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Once they are done, remove them from the toaster oven.

3. On The Stove Top

It will help if you use a cast iron skillet on the stovetop to cook the burgers. You need to place the frozen burger patties in the skillet and then put it on medium heat.

I wait for about five minutes for each side or until the burger is cooked.

To get that perfect sear on the burgers, you must ensure that the skillet is hot before adding the patties. After cooking the burgers, you can add your favorite toppings.

4. In The Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F. Next, you must place your frozen White Castle burgers in the air fryer basket. Make sure that they are not touching each other or will not cook evenly. 

I usually cook the burgers for 6-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. When they are done, remove them from the air fryer.

How Long Do You Cook Frozen White Castle Burgers

When cooking frozen White Castle burgers [1], the length of time will depend on how you want your burger cooked. If you like your burger well-done, you’ll need to cook it longer than if you prefer it rare or medium-rare. 

Here are some general guidelines that I use to achieve the perfect burger:

For a well-done burger, cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.

For a medium-rare burger, cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.

For a rare burger, cook for 1-2 minutes on each side.

These cooking times are based on burgers that are frozen solid. If your burger is thawed, you’ll need to reduce the cooking time slightly. Also, remember that cooking times may vary depending on your grill or stove. 

Use these guidelines as a starting point, but keep an eye on your burgers while cooking. After all, there’s nothing worse than an overcooked or burnt White Castle burger.

Once finished, enjoy your delicious White Castle burger.
