add cheese

No good burger without a big piece of cheese.

Why not add some cheese? has gone into Meat instead of top?

Cold cheese works best for this job. I also freeze the cheese for 20-30 minutes before mixing the raw meat.

How much fat should I add to my mince?

I have created a handy guide to help you determine the amount of fat to add to your mince.

Let us look at a brief example. to show how they work together

He had 90% lean beef (10% fat) and decided he wanted to make a burger that was 30% fat (70% fat).

Now, you just need to match the type of mince you have (in the book) to the type of mince you want (in line).

	60% thin	tinrin 70%	80% thin
80% thin	+ 25%	+ 13%	—
85% Grinding	+ 29%	+ 18%	+ 6%
90% thin	+ 33%	+ 22%	+ 11%
93% slim	+ 35%	+ 25%	+ 14%

To convert 90% lean beef into 70% lean beef, you will need to add 22% of the total weight of the original ground beef to pure fat (e.g. wax, bacon fat, butter).

disorder? to pass a real world example:

If you have 2 lbs of 90% lean beef, you will need to add 7oz (0.44 lbs) of fat to create a 70% lean mass. 0.44 lbs is 22% of 2 pounds.

Tips for Drinking Lean Ground Beef Juice

Here is one last piece of advice to help you get the most out of beef and tender:

• do not work hard Working too hard makes the meat strong and fragile. Treat your workout and you will be rewarded.
• Are the burgers? just flip it once Much the same logic as # 1. Also, try to avoid beating the paddle with your paddle when cooking.
• The more meat, the fat the more heat you need at all times should be lean meat over medium heat. While the meat is high in fat it should be cooked over high heat. Adjust according to the amount of fat you intend to add.
