Why add sugar to minced meat

The presence of granulated sugar in the base for cutlets allows you to get the perfect dish.

The prepared cutlets will be juicy and delicious.

The thing is that thanks to the sweet additive, a caramel crust will appear, which will improve the taste of the meat “pucks”, and at the same time “seal” the juices inside.

It is important not to overdo it with this additive.

For every kilo of meat component, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar is enough.
