Defrosting question

[rjamz]

So I made black bean patties a couple of weeks ago and froze them. If I want to make one for J for lunch, do I need to defrost it first or can I put it right on the skillet?

I'd put it right on the skillet, on a lower temp, and throw the lid on. Once it warms up a bit, then I'd remove the lid and turn the heat up to "sear" the outsides.

I would say this sounds like a very good plan.

I put C's frozen garden burgers directly on the skillet with a little olive oil spray and just keep flipping it until done. It takes less than 5 min - assume this would be the same?

I would put it straight in the skillet.

I made the skinny taste ones and put them right on the skillet

Straight to the skillet. Just be careful. If you add oil to the skillet, the ice crystals on the patty might splatter

Also, recipe? I want to make something like this and I am not sure how.
