  • Today I am trying The Impossible burger which is a plant based "burger". I wanted to try these simply with salt and pepper, no bun or toppings. Here are the ingredients:
    water, soy protein concentrate, coconut oil, sunflower oil, natural flavors, 2% or less potato protein, methylcellulose, yeast extract, cultured dextrose, food starch modified, soy leghemoglobin, salt, mixed tocopherols (antioxident), soy protein isolate.
    Vitamins and minerals:
    Zinc gluconate, B1, niacin, B6, B2, B12
    240 calories per burger
    I get a lot of people asking where they can get certain things that I use in my videos, so I created a Tom's Test Kitchen store on Amazon. You will find everything I could think of that I've used in one way or another in previous videos. Please take a look around, I hope you find what you're looking for, if not just ask. Thanks! www.amazon.com...

    I happened to have these Impossible Burgers on hand, so after seeing your video in the morning, I made them for dinner that night. Your review is spot-on! I prepared them as though it was a hamburger, ketchup & all. Delicious! I also sauteed onions when the burgers were being cooked. Thank you so much!

      They’re so good. I’m meatless and make my chili and spaghetti with these patties. I just melt in oven as if I’m making burgers but take them out when there pink and add to skillet to ground up. Ik they have it already in a pack to ground. I’ve tried those and I happen to like these better. For my spaghetti I actually add some vegan sausage on the pan as well and ground it with the imposs Pattie’s. My family kill it every time and they’re meat eaters.

    Tom, how about the idea of substituting one night a week that normally would have had meat for an impossible burger night? We have designated a few days a week to veggie only and it has made a real difference. We still eat meat but we are trying to lower our carbon footprint possibly and while were at it eat a little healthier. You can feel the difference within a week. Worth a try. Thanks for the video, I agree 100% with you about the taste and texture. Its really good. Next time try it loaded up like you normally would :)

      It's not subsidized by the government. You are paying for meat through your taxes.

    Looks like they have come a long way from the veggie burgers that we served at burger king back in the early 2000's. I was never brave enough to try those. But I've got a 12oz pack of impossible burger that I'm going to use for spaghetti. You answered my question, rather or not it shrinks. Thank you. Nice to get the answer I seek first video out the gate. :) Doesn't happen often.

    I like to add hickory flavor to my burgers, which makes it taste like it's been cooked over an open flame.

    Good review Tom.
    Been wondering about these 'burgers' for a while.
    I do not know anyone who has tried this, and I still think it's not for me.

    You can’t tell the difference at all. I’m going to make it for my carnivore sister and her family. I never add salt I use complete seasoning.

    You overcooked it! Give it less cooking time (over high heat) and it won't be as dry and will be more visually appealing. Cheers!

      Yeah, I just wanted to make sure it was cooked through. I will cook it more medium next time.
