High-quality minced meat is an excellent basis for many hearty and tasty dishes, so it is important to learn how to cook it.
Remember that homemade minced meat will always be superior to store-bought minced meat in terms of its properties.
Therefore, it is worth mastering 6 simple tricks, says Yulia Arkhipova, a culinary expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What do they consist of?
Good meat
If minced meat is prepared for the main dish, then you cannot skimp on meat. Fresh meat is best for preparing a semi-finished product.
It is better not to buy frozen products.
Quality of the meat grinder
Not only the meat should be of high quality: you shouldn't forget about the meat grinder either. Make sure that the knives are always well sharpened.
This will significantly improve the quality of the minced meat.
Meat temperature
Despite the fact that it is recommended to buy the product fresh, you cannot start preparing the preparation immediately. First, it is recommended to bring the meat to a cool state using the refrigerator.
Water
If you want the mince to be more juicy and tasty, then during the actual work do not forget to pour in a couple of spoons of ice water.
Juiciness
Some people think that minced meat becomes juicy only due to extraneous additives. But this is not entirely true.
To achieve this goal, you need to make sure that the meat contains layers of fat.
Freezing
Many people prepare minced meat in reserve, which is a good and practical idea. But in this case, onions, garlic, dill and any other fresh ingredients cannot be added to the semi-finished product.
