Why cutlets fall apart: the main reasons are named

08.06.2024 12:00

Nobody wants their cutlets to start falling apart right in the middle of frying.

This means that the dish was definitely a failure.

Therefore, it is worthwhile to clearly identify the errors that could cause this unpleasant situation, says chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti.

What do they consist of?

Minced meat quality

It is important to remember that the quality of the cutlets as a whole will largely depend on this factor. The dish will not work out from dry mince - the cutlets will fall apart.

But liquid mincemeat won’t be able to hold its shape.

So try to maintain balance.

Dimensions

Many people want the cutlets to impress with their "generous" size, so they try to mold them larger. As a result, the dish is not fried thoroughly and holds its shape extremely poorly.

Therefore, it is worth making cutlets of a standard size.

Adhesive components

Of course, you can't do without them. Choose for yourself what you can use. You can choose potatoes, oatmeal, semolina or eggs.
