Every family has its own recipe for cutlets. Usually such secrets are passed down from generation to generation.
However, some housewives make mistakes that prevent them from getting the perfect culinary masterpiece.
It is worth looking into the most common points in more detail.
You are using too liquid mince.
If you kept the mince in the freezer, it will have too much moisture after defrosting.
Some housewives do not wait for the water to drain and immediately start cooking the cutlets. However, the liquid mince will spread in your hands, so you will not be able to form neat cutlets.
You can prevent the problem by leaving the prepared mince on the refrigerator shelf for a few hours. The bread will absorb the water, so you will be able to easily form the cutlets, they will not fall apart in the frying pan.
You beat the minced meat
Probably, many housewives do these manipulations. But it is worth remembering that after beating, the mince loses air, so it becomes too sticky. Processing mince, which is carried out in this way, is appropriate only in the case of cooking lula kebab.
To make really tasty cutlets, just knead the mince and leave it in the refrigerator for two hours. It will acquire the right consistency, so you will not encounter problems while creating a culinary masterpiece.
You fry the cutlets immediately
You shouldn't work with freshly prepared minced meat. It should be left in the cold for a few hours so that it becomes thick and viscous. It is easy to make cutlets from such minced meat that will not fall apart. Mix all the ingredients in a container and let the preparation stand to enjoy the cooking process.
Are you using a non-stick frying pan?
A non-stick frying pan is not suitable for cooking all dishes. You definitely shouldn't cook cutlets on such cookware, because its bottom doesn't heat up to the required temperature. As a result, you'll spend a lot of time and effort creating a culinary masterpiece.
It is better to fry cutlets in a frying pan made of cast iron. You will get a dish with an appetizing and crispy golden crust, without wasting a lot of time standing at the stove.
You fry the cutlets for a long time
This mistake concerns many housewives. You should not fry the cutlets for too long, because they will become too dry. Even if you add sauce to them, you will not be able to return the juiciness to the dish.
If you have formed medium-sized patties, fry them for two minutes on each side. Then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid and leave the patties on the stove for another five minutes.
By eliminating these mistakes, you can get juicy and tasty cutlets. They will be a great addition to any side dish, and your family will appreciate them!
