Many people know that you can safely add various ingredients to the minced meat to make it better quality.

Thanks to this, many have managed to earn themselves an excellent reputation as cooks.

However, the role of not all ingredients is completely clear, explains Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.

What happens to minced meat if you add starch to it?

As it turns out, this is a very good solution that will transform cutlets. Regular starch makes them better quality.

The thing is that adding starch "frees" you from adding eggs, which make the cutlets too tough. Therefore, a few spoons of starch will help "bind" the ingredients.

For half a kilo of meat, it is customary to take three large spoons of starch. You can choose either corn or regular potato starch: there is no fundamental difference.

Starch also provides the required level of fluffiness and juiciness. Many housewives note that cutlets with starch remain soft even when stored in the refrigerator for a long time.
