I put them on buns with pickles, onions and it is just as good. I would prefer to have the old press back over these but at least they taste the same Miss he McRib press but these taste as good

2026-07-07T03:05:14.000+00:00 2026-07-09T10:00:14.000+00:00 Good sauce flavor, tangy and mildly sweet. Firm texture but not close enough to real meat according to my meat eating family, although they said it was good enough to eat again! More of a meat replacement than a substitute. My only concern was cooking the flimsy tv dinner style plastic tray and wrap at such a high oven temperature. Good meat replacement!

I microwaved it as I was busy but I’m sure it’s even better in the air fryer. I remember these from years ago, I only wish I could cook 1 instead of both. Good flavor! Delicious

I followed the microwave instructions and the texture turned out great. I'm sure following the oven instructions would result in more caramelized sauce. A tasty meat free rib
