Press to jump

  1. 0:04Ashen tests five microwave burgers, heating them whole to judge them on maximum convenience.
  2. 3:02Feasters earns 2.5 out of five, with a pork-flavored patty and soggy bun.
  3. 6:34Lidl's Speedfeast matches that score: the bread fares better than the nearly flavorless meat.
  4. 17:25Aldi's Quicksters scores 1.5 after extra heating leaves a spongy, gritty texture.
  5. 22:21Flemmings tastes recognizably of beef and earns the highest rating, three out of five.

The prize is a massive red plastic gem. The achievement required to earn it: being a microwave burger that tastes recognizably of meat.

Stuart Ashen's "I Rated Microwave Burgers Out Of 5 | Ashens" has reached roughly 1.1 million views and remains the channel's busiest upload right now, comfortably above the other videos gathering momentum. There were no new releases this week, so the brown sofa's existing menu has had the floor.

The test takes convenience seriously: Ashen microwaves the burgers whole rather than improving them with extra preparation. At one point, he opens a second Aldi burger package simply to borrow its cheese. Flemmings eventually earns the plastic ruby with a modest three out of five, after its beef flavor supplies a welcome surprise. The video also contains a sponsored drinks segment.

Food isn't the only thing moving. "Microwave Snacks: End of 2025 Edition | Ashens" brings a sausage bap and meatball sub into the rotation, while "Modern Lightguns Are Weird | Ashens" explores the fiddly business of getting arcade-style shooting games working with modern equipment.

Across the channel, the week added about 560,000 views, with subscribers unchanged. Daily viewing is currently below its usual level. Among nearby product-testing channels, Mary Allyson and Teddy Baldassarre are drawing above-usual daily audiences; ashens' quieter release schedule leaves the microwave-burger tasting doing much of the work among its currently active uploads.
