good day Dear friends... let's talk today about cutlets, or rather, we will analyze the recipes juicy cutlets from minced meat of different types. It would seem that what is complicated here, minced meat, bread, an egg, mix all this and fry.

But everything does not always work out as it should. It is especially hard for young housewives. You have to make mistakes many times before you get curvy and juicy cutlets so that the whole family will like them.

That is why we tried to collect not just recipes, but also reveal the secrets of making delicious meatballs or meatballs, as they are also called.

Also on festive table there are almost always cutlets. Sometimes you can't do without them and regular lunch or dinner. They can decorate any festive table. Every housewife wants to cook something interesting and unusual. And that's great. You can make your own own recipe and praise in front of guests and so on.

But before you cook, you need to know a few simple rules... They were not invented just like that, this is the experience of many housewives of all times. Let's take a closer look.

How to cook juicy and tasty cutlets?

The cutlets must be delicious, this is not disputed. But it is also necessary that they are not dry and lush. It depends on many factors. Such as the choice of minced meat, the method of kneading the minced meat, additional ingredients, and so on. And of course the experience.

Now let's take a closer look at the recipes for juicy minced meatballs, or rather, first cooking minced meat.

By the way, it is best to make minced meat with your own hands. I never advise you to buy it in a store, because you never know what and how it is mixed up there. Usually purchased minced meat does not make good homemade cutlets.

Choosing meat for cutlets.

First of all, you need to decide what kind of meat you want to make cutlets. Usually I have this: what kind of meat I eat, from that I do it. But this is not always the case. If we want to surprise guests, or even just our family at dinner, then we think it over in advance.

The choice of meat also affects the calorie content. Here's how meat can be divided according to calorie content:

• The most juicy and high-calorie are obtained precisely pork cutlets ... The calorie content is around 350 kcal / 100 g (290 kcal / 100 g when steamed).
• If you do mixture of pork and ground beef, then the calorie content will be in the region of 267 (190) kcal / 100 g. It is better to dilute the minced pork by 2/3 with minced beef.
• When using pure ground beef calorie content even less: 235 (172) kcal / 100 g.
• The most dietary are chicken cutlets... Here the calorie content is about 145-125 kcal / 100 g. But they turn out to be rather dry. Therefore, these cutlets contain fat or other additives that increase calories.
• Ground turkey- most perfect option not only for those who follow the figure, but also for kids. In a turkey, the meat itself is quite juicy and the calories are not high: 180 kcal when frying in a pan and 140 kcal when steamed.

It should not be forgotten that additives such as breadcrumb, eggs and oil increase the calorie content when frying. But without this, patties usually do not work, and it all depends on what we want to cook specifically.

How to choose the right meat for minced meat.

Do not forget that recipes for juicy minced meat cutlets will turn out with a bang only from homemade minced meat... You need to choose the right meat and make it yourself. Then success awaits you unambiguously.

Fresh meat is the main argument

• When choosing meat, it is imperative to examine and smell it. The meat should smell like fresh meat. No off odors, sourness, or other odors indicating old meat or staleness.
• The meat should be elastic and resilient. If you press your finger on the meat, then the fossa should soon level out.
• The color of the meat should be pinkish red and moist. There should be no windy areas or mucous surfaces.
• It is better to take a thigh or rump from lamb.
• If you buy pork, beef or veal, then it is better to take: the back thigh, neck, tenderloin or shoulder blade.
• When choosing poultry meat, pay attention to the hams (drumstick and thigh). Then the cutlets are more juicy. The breast is also suitable - the less high-calorie part, but rather dry.

The subtleties of cooking cutlets.

First of all, I want to note that it is best to scroll the meat through a small mesh, preferably 2-3 times. This will make the cutlets more fluffy. Some recipes for juicy minced meat patties directly indicate how many times you need to twist and not always through which mesh.

Many argue that it is better to scroll through a large grid. On the one hand, they are right. Then the meat turns out large pieces and gives less juice, which means less fat. But if you want to get fluffy cutlets, it is better to twist through a fine mesh, even better to use a blender.

Things to consider when cooking cutlets:

• When adding crumb to minced meat, you need to take bread wheat varieties... Yesterday's bread is desirable, because fresh bread will not the desired consistency and extra calories.
  Also, about 150-200 g of crumb is needed for 1 kg of meat.
• It is necessary to soak bread in boiling water, and not in milk, as many believe. Milk deprives the cutlets of juiciness. But the crumb soaked in water will add splendor and airiness.
• Minced meat gives juiciness onion... It can be used 300 g per 1 kg of meat. Onions will not spoil the minced meat in any way, only on the contrary, it will be tastier and juicier.
  

  But the onion cannot be scrolled through a meat grinder, so all the juice will be squeezed out. It is better to chop it finely with a knife and add to the minced meat.

• If you want to get tender tender cutlets, then you can add mayonnaise to the minced meat, but a little bit, no more than 50 g.
• To prevent the cutlets from falling apart and be more magnificent, you can add potatoes by rubbing them on fine grater.
• If you use eggs in minced meat, then you should not just add them to minced meat. First, cook the minced meat completely: add everything you need, spices too. Knead well. And only at the end we add eggs in this way:
  Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the whites until fluffy. And already in the finished minced meat, slowly pour in the protein, stirring from bottom to top.
  Try this method and immediately notice how the cutlets will take a magnificent shape right in front of your eyes.
• Add spices and salt to your liking. There are no restrictions here. A lot of greens are better in fish cakes.

How and how much do you need to fry minced meat cutlets?

Going through the recipes for juicy minced meat cutlets for my festive table, I came across that little is written in the recipe on how to fry cutlets correctly.

1. It is necessary to form cutlets, make them thick enough and do not flatten them too much. It's better to wet your hands cold water to make it easier to sculpt.
2. At proper frying loss of juiciness in cutlets can be avoided. But usually breading is used. She holds back the juiciness well inside. Usually, crackers or salted flour are used. But both semolina and Japanese cornflakes will fit well.
3. The pan needs to be heated well over medium heat. Pour in oil for frying and then lay out our breadcrumbs.
4. After 3-5 minutes, turn over our cutlets, set the heat to the lowest, and cover the pan. So we fry for 15 minutes. During this time, meat and onions are fried, and soy does not evaporate.
5. Now open the lid, increase the heat to medium and bring it to a delicious crust.
6. It is better to change the oil every time you fry.

On average, it takes a decent 25 minutes to cook one batch in a pan. But it's worth it.

How else can you cook cutlets.

except traditional ways Recipes for juicy minced meat cutlets suggest steaming in the oven and in the microwave. Here's how long it takes:

Bon Appetit!

Minced meat is one of the most popular and favorite semi-finished products by housewives. You can quickly, inexpensively and very tasty cook many dishes from it, and one of the most adored by all domestic families is cutlets. Of course, it is better to cook minced meat yourself, from fresh meat, but purchased product you can also choose high quality, and even cheaper than purchasing a piece of tenderloin.

How to Pick a Good Minced Meat

Coming to the market or supermarket, you need to know exactly the expiration date of the product. Often you can see it on the packaging or ask the seller. But if only it were that simple.

• Colour. If minced meat, not chicken, you should know that Ground beef more reddish, saturated dark red, and pork lighter, pinkish. And the price for them is different. But this is not the point, the main thing is that the color should be saturated, bright, either red or pink. If you see white impurities, it is obvious that there are soy or lard additives in the minced meat, or worse. Do not take minced meat of a dubious color with a bluish tinge - such a product is clearly not suitable for human consumption.
• The smell of minced meat should be clear - the smell of meat is identical. By smell, you can determine if there is a sourness in the product, inherent in spoiled meat. It is better if there is no pepper, salt or other spices in the minced meat. This way, you can tell exactly by the smell whether the product is fresh. Do not take minced meat with spices - this is the first sign that the expiration date has expired, and additives are a disguise.
• Good minced meat always juices like any meat. Cartilage and other wastes do not give such juice, which means that you do not need such minced meat. We want natural cutlets for the family.
• By touch, you can determine the quality of the minced meat. Take medical gloves with you to the market. Try minced meat, if under your fingers it is of a uniform consistency, without lumps, you can safely purchase it. If he looks a little like butter by consistency - it's not meat, I'm minced from cartilage and waste.

How to properly freeze and thaw minced meat for cutlets

If you bought a lot of minced meat, it is better to freeze it in parts. That is, if you need 400 grams, freeze with just such pieces so as not to constantly defrost whole piece... Minced meat will deteriorate from frequent defrosting.

And so, in order to defrost the minced meat on cutlets, you need to put the package with the product in a bowl and hide it in the refrigerator for a day. That is how much he needs to defrost on his own, which will allow him to preserve the freshness and taste of the product. This is the case if you are cooking for today.

If you need to cook for today's lunch, put a bag of minced meat in a saucepan, pour cold water into it. Yes, it is cold, in it the minced meat will defrost faster, and microbes in it will not multiply, which is inevitable when defrosting in warm water or just near the stove, at room temperature.

Secrets of making minced meat cutlets

If there is not enough minced meat, add a little (1-2 tablespoons) semolina, so the mass of minced meat will increase and there will be more cutlets. The main thing is to constantly beat the minced meat 3-4 times for the whole preparation, and after you add all the ingredients: spices and salt, eggs / semolina / potatoes, onions and garlic, you need to mix the minced meat with your hands for 10 minutes.

To make the cutlets tasty and not bland, it is better to take minced beef and pork. For children, you can cook and chicken cutlets, they are softer and softer. And you can mix all three types, this will not affect the taste of the cutlet.

To add juiciness and splendor to the cutlets, add White bread, dipped either in milk, and if not, in warm water. So there is more minced meat, and the taste is richer, and the tunics are easier, since they will simply be fresh and hard from the minced meat.

To create a crunchy and crispy crust, it is better to roll the patties in flour. You can also roll in breadcrumbs, but this is no longer traditional cutlets, and a Kiev cutlet (if there is a filling inside). You can make cutlets in breading for a change, their taste is slightly different.
