As you know, the best option for preparing cutlets, meatballs and cabbage rolls is to use freshly prepared minced meat.

However, unfortunately, this possibility does not always exist.

Therefore, housewives make reserves of minced meat in the freezer, from where they take it out as needed.

In this case, they have to wait an hour or more until the main ingredient of the meat dish defrosts.

Proper freezing of minced meat will help avoid such a problem. It will also help out if you only need a small piece of minced meat mixed with lard for cooking.

To organize the storage of minced meat, you will need to stock up on zip-lock bags. However, regular cellophane bags will do just fine.

So, divide the minced meat into bags (add a small amount of the product to each bag), and then press it with your hands to form a thin layer.

To defrost the cutlet mass, take it out of the cold and immerse it in warm water for 10-15 minutes. After the specified time, it will be completely ready for use.
