Heating a Mc Donalds Cheeseburger

This may seem like a stupid question... Earlier I got a Mc Donalds and they gave me a free cheese burger for being a student. Anyway, I was full after my meal, so didn't eat it. Is it safe to heat up in the microwave? [I'm pretty clueless when it comes to microwaves... never had one as a kid] What settings/timing would you suggest?

Cheers

Cooooomeee on dudes! I want to eat! Lol
Yeah, sure, go ahead. I'm sure it won't kill you.
Or maybe it'll blow up and defy the laws of gravity forming a black hole destroying the universe as we know it.
It's fine. Just put it in for a minute or so.

Do not reheat food I don't think.


So no, don't eat it.... well I wouldn't. Mainly because it's McDonalds, but also might not be safe.

Make sure you take the gherkin out
Its fine, pop it in the microwave for a minute as suggested. Not entirely nutritious, but no sense in wasting it.

Well, I used to work at McDonalds.

My sincere recommendation = dont do it.

They're cooked on an extremely hot grill in about 40 seconds - a microwave will not cut it.
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't kill you or make you sick.

Go back, point out that its cold and demand a new one :yep:. My friend who works at McDonalds complains all the time because they have to give you a new one :p:. (Not sure this still counts if you've left the store though :ninja:)

Its true.

Seriously though, dont microwave it. The meat patty inside is specially designed for the flat-grill (seriously).

As long as it's piping hot. A fraction of a degree above or below piping and you're a gonner

I've done it before, they just taste a little soggy if you warm them up in a microwave. Just don't put it on full heat :wink:

I'm not trying to cook it though, only reheat it. The meat is already cooked no?

Maybe I'll just eat it cold :frown: I generally don't even like cheeseburgers, I only got it cause they didn't have any Mc Flurrys and it was free :frown: Damn Mc Donalds!

Well yeh its already cooked, lol. But it will go very soggy in the microwave. The grill causes the juices to run out while the microwave just heats em up.

Oh, and cold burger - ew, lol.
