Cooking cutlets is a rather complicated culinary process.

It only takes one mistake to make the dish lose its bright taste and normal consistency.

One of the common mistakes when frying meat products is choosing the wrong temperature for heat treatment.

So, the fire may be either too strong or too weak. Then the cutlets will burn or keep the "cheese" inside (in addition, both of these problems may make themselves known at once).

Cooking cutlets exclusively over medium heat is also not an absolutely correct approach: the dish may turn out tough and lose its pleasant taste.

To prepare the perfect meat product, you need to use one little trick.

The essence of the life hack

You need to start cooking the cutlets on high heat. It is advisable to put the minced meat "washers" on a well-heated frying pan.

This approach will guarantee the “sealing” of the product: the food will retain all its juices and aromas.

Reduce the heat after one minute. To a minimum. In other words, in the second stage, the cutlets should be cooked on low heat.

After turning the cutlets over, the life hack “60 seconds - high heat, then - minimum” needs to be repeated.

In this case, the dish will acquire an appetizing and beautiful crust, will be juicy and well-fried.
