Q: Can these be cooked in the microwave?
submitted by cfresh - 4 years ago
A: It’s much better in the oven or air fryer.
submitted byVercetti - 10 months agoA: HI there. Great question. We've currently only tested these Tenders to be prepared in the conventional oven or air fryer. We do not recommend preparing them in the microwave. Have a great day!
submitted byGardein Consumer Care - 4 years agoBrand expertA: These aren't very good from the microwave. The texture is soft like most anything that has a breading. I recommend oven or, my fav, air fry!

CARCINOGEN ALERT
WARNING!! CONTAINS TITANIUM DIOXIDE AND CANOLA OIL. The titanium dioxide is completely un-necessary and its BEEN known that it causes cancer. Canola oil and all seed oils are terrible for our bodies as well. Avocado oil is a much safer and healthier alternative. Please make these changes! Otherwise, I'd give a five star review! I wish I could eat these products again, but I just don't feel safe putting these chemicals and seed oils in my body.

Delicious
Wow, they definitely have the recipe right on these ones. They taste amazing and take only minutes in the air fryer. They may be high in sodium, but again it’s about moderation and what else I consume it with. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and very flavourful, not to mention that they are high in iron, protein, vitamins and minerals and best of all… they are plant based! I will be buying these on a regular basis!

Tastes really good
These are the best tasting plant based chicken products I've tried. I wouldn't go so far as to say it tastes exactly like chicken, but I do really like it

Why change the recipe?!?
These used to be great. Over the past year the recipe has definitely changed for the worse. Please bring back the old recipe

Contains known carcinogen
I loved this and bought them all the time, until I found out they have titanium dioxide, which is a known carcinogen.

Weird taste
My husband and I are vegetarian. I like your other chicken alternatives but not these. They have a weird taste. Almost like perfume. Very chemical. While they were cooking we smelled a chemical like smell. When we went to eat them, we realized that THAT was the smell.

Not worth it
Very rubbery, had a weird taste. And it was expensive for the amount of strips in the bag.

Absolutely vile
Absolutely revolting. I’ve never been so overcome by anger and disgust while eating something that I put down the food in question to immediately write a review. I only bought these because the morning star incogmeato tenders weren’t available (these are the best, and I was expecting something similar considering how expensive these things are) and I seriously regret my purchase. They tasted so nasty I had to remove them from the bun and just eat the bun/toppings on their own. I could only manage a few bites, they taste like the nasty vegan alternatives that were the only available options five years ago. Considering the other options on the market now, these are an embarrassment. Do not buy these unless you want to eat grisly, rubbery tasting hunks of crap!

Do not reccomend
The taste and texture is awful compared to others on the market. The price is definitely not worth the quality.

Remove the Titanium
I used to buy these every week. I have spent hundreds on their products. And sadly I must now find an alternative due to the toxic chemical Titanium Dioxide. Such a shame. Please remove it, I don’t care how white the interior looks.

I honestly thought they couldn't mess this up
Bad flavor and texture, there are so many good plant based chicken nuggets that even though Gardein has failed for me on multiple items, I really thought they couldn't fail this.

Gross texture and weird flavor
The flavor isn't at all like chicken tenders, it's more like chicken soup or a chicken bouillon cube. It has a very strong chicken flavor in that sense, but not the flavor chicken tenders are supposed to have. The texture was also not great, though it was similar to some chicken tenders I had in the past, which is: wet, stringy, and chewy. I hate wet chicken as it feels raw, and although this isn't raw chicken, the texture was way too close to wet greasy chicken. Don't think I'll be trying these again.

Yummy
This was accidentally given to me, and I assume they are regular chicken tenders. Started getting more curious as I was eating the last two and read the ingredients. All I can say is MIND BLOWN !!!! I'm hooked from now on. I do intermittent fasting, and I think this is the way to incorporate this product into my lifestyle .

From great to garbage
What happened?! I can’t afford them for a few months and now they just suck! What happened to the batter? It’s more like a frozen fish nugget now. Y’all sacrificed flavor over money and it shows. Well it tastes. I would really appreciate answers. The nugget inside even tastes like grease. How is that possible if I’m not deep frying it?

Unbelievably Yummy
These are delicious. The texture is identical to a real piece of chicken. They’re really really good. You could serve them & no one would know the difference. It’s a good source of protein. I eat 1 or 2 with some veggies 🥦 & get completely satisfied.

(no review title)
I bought these last week and was really surprised. The texture and taste both are the closest to chicken than any product I have tried. The only fault I have is there should have been 9 tenders, however, my bag had 8.

Best ever plant-based checken
I've tried just about all brands of plant based chicken, and this Gardein one is BY FAR THE BEST! It's juicier, meatier, and tastier than the rest. I popped it in the microwave, and it came out perfect. The skin stayed on and wasn't soggy. I don't think I'll ever heat them in the regular oven. And no need for utensils or dipping sauce. Yummy!😋
