Storing, Freezing and Making Ahead

To store leftovers: Cooked burgers will keep in the fridge for 1–2 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving or enjoy cold if preferred.
To freeze uncooked patties: Place formed patties between sheets of baking paper and freeze flat, then transfer to a tub or freezer bag. Defrost overnight in the fridge before cooking.
To freeze cooked burgers: Cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container. Defrost in the fridge and reheat thoroughly before eating.
