Frozen burger patties offer a convenient solution to both the time and freshness problems. They’re usually meant to cook from frozen, in a pan, on the grill or under your broiler. Your oven’s broiler works rather like a barbecue grill, except the heat comes from above rather than below.
I don’t recommend cooking frozen hamburgers in the oven at 350F. However, if your oven doesn’t go that high or you prefer a lower degree, then you should expect your burgers to be done closer to 30-35 minutes. Check the burgers’ internal temperature.
When broiling burgers in the oven, you’ll need to cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side (so a total of 8 minutes). Be sure to check the internal temperature of your burgers so you know when they are done. Which is better, cooking burgers in the oven or on the stovetop?
The issue with broiling meats in general, and frozen patties in particular, is that the broiler can cook the surface of the meat to a cinder before the middle is even thawed. That’s because heat is very slow to move from the surface of the burger to the frozen beef inside.
