In order for the cutlets to turn out high-quality, fluffy and juicy without any problems, you need to know special rules that experienced cooks consider basic.

In this case, there will never be any complaints about your dish: you will receive only rave reviews.

What are the 3 rules you should know?

Fat must be present in cutlets

If you want to cook a diet version of cutlets, it is better to try another dish. Cutlets only turn out to be sufficiently juicy and tasty if they contain a fatty component.

Therefore, at least 20% of the total volume of minced meat should be fatty meat. If you do not want to use pork, you can mince a piece of lard or grate some frozen butter.

Without bread it is difficult to achieve fluffiness and juiciness

It is not worth thinking that poor housewives who do not have enough money for a sufficient amount of meat began adding bread to cutlets. Even restaurant chefs add the flour product to minced meat.

This component copes better than others with the task of preparing fluffy and juicy cutlets. The product should be slightly dried: fresh bread is definitely not suitable for making cutlets.

Ice water

To make the patties perfect, it is often recommended to add a little water. However, it is best to add cold liquid with a little crushed ice.

In this case, the dish turns out simply perfect.
