Semi-finished products are a great help when you need to cook something quickly and tasty. These are not only dumplings, pancakes and other frozen delicacies.
Cutlets are sold frozen. Sometimes housewives make such preparations themselves. But do they need to be defrosted before cooking?
Here is a guide that will never let you down.
According to professionals, it is not necessary to defrost semi-finished products before frying or baking. It is rather a matter of habit.
It is quite sufficient if the cutlets are left at room temperature for a while without packaging.
Then they are placed in a frying pan with heated vegetable oil and cooked over medium heat until done.
Each side is fried for about 5-8 minutes until golden brown.
To avoid worrying about raw minced meat remaining in the middle, you can add boiled water to the pan, approximately up to the middle of the cutlets.
The cutlets are simmered under a lid for 10-15 minutes over low heat.
You can also bake the cutlets in the oven, which is considered a healthier option.
Bon appetit!
