99% of young housewives make these mistakes when preparing cutlets: are you in their category?

The fact that cutlets can be considered one of the most popular dishes does not mean that mistakes cannot be made when preparing them.

Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking from the online publication BelNovosti, spoke about the most popular culinary blunders.

Lean meat

The juiciness of cutlets largely depends on the quality of the meat used – it must contain a sufficient amount of fat.

But you shouldn't overdo it either, as too fatty meat can negatively affect the taste of the cutlets. Therefore, before grinding in a meat grinder, it is recommended to remove large pieces of fat from the meat along with the veins.

Lack of bread

Thanks to bread, it is possible to make cutlets fluffy and airy. In addition, this ingredient has the ability to absorb excess moisture, which means that the cutlets will not fall apart during frying.

Before adding the bread to the other ingredients, it is worth soaking it. Usually, water, milk or cream are used for this purpose.

Adding an egg

It is believed that this product helps to glue all the ingredients together and prevent the cutlets from falling apart.

In fact, it’s the other way around – the egg in the cutlets makes them tough and dry.
