Julia: | October 27th, 2017 | 4:47 pm
And I freeze on cling film (both cutlets and dumplings, etc.) - everything easily leaves the film when you take it out of the freezer, and you don’t need to wash the board (and try to take it off the board again)))) I put cling film on the board ; there are meat products, and on the board in the freezer straight. As they freeze, I take it out, remove the board and wrap it in a film

Ludmila: | December 7th, 2012 | 12:04 pm
Since we are talking about saving time here, I will share a recent discovery =))
It turns out that instead of rolling meatballs one at a time, you can make them using the chefs method, which is very effective when making meatballs on an industrial scale! =)
I recently saw the method in Oksana Putan's LiveJournal, and it was a discovery for me =) Therefore, you never know, maybe someone will also come in handy)
“Take some minced meat in your hand. And squeeze a little from the ring between the index and thumb. They pressed it a little, and with the fingers of the other hand they “removed” the finished meatball.” Oksana Putan.
Simple but fast =)
Anastasia: | November 29th, 2012 | 11:18 am

Answer: I, for example, sometimes add to minced meat leftovers oatmeal on milk. It also turns out delicious. Try this option.
Katama: | July 10th, 2012 | 5:31 pm
And how much milk should be - in which bread is soaked? Don't need to press? Does bread and milk go into meatballs?..
Answer: milk should be enough so that it is all absorbed into the bread. I can’t say for sure, because it depends on the volume of dishes and the size of the slices of bread. No need to press.
Svetlana: | April 6th, 2012 | 8:28 pm

The presented recipes are very tasty and do not take much time. Now you also know how to make meatballs from minced meat and vegetables from available products. Fantasize, delight and surprise your loved ones - bon appetit!
Minced meatballs - one of the most simple meals which can only be imagined. Meatballs can act as a hearty addition to soups or served as an independent dish of minced meat. These mouth-watering meatballs are so easy to prepare that you can quickly feed your loved ones a delicious lunch or dinner without any extra effort. Do you want to know how to do it? Now we will tell you everything!
Meatballs can be made from different meat- pork, beef, chicken or turkey. You can use one type of minced meat, or you can mix several options for more interesting taste. Poultry meatballs are especially light, tender and low-calorie, so they can be successfully used in dietary and baby food. It is better not to use very fatty meat for cooking meatballs.
Meatball soups are a quick alternative to soups cooked in meat broth, because meat balls are boiled in boiling water for only a few minutes. Meatballs can be placed in boiling water, boiled for 7-10 minutes, then removed from the broth and prepared as a soup by adding vegetables and other ingredients, such as cereals. At the end, add the meatballs, bring the soup to a boil and turn off the heat. Let the soup insist under the lid for 10-20 minutes and voila - delicious light soup Ready in just half an hour! Another option for making soup with meatballs is to first add vegetables to boiling water, boil them for 10-15 minutes, then put the meatballs and cook the soup for about 10-15 minutes. By the way, before adding the meatballs to the soup, you can pre-fry them - this will give the dish interesting flavor notes.
Despite the fact that most often we mean by meatballs meat balls that complement the soup, minced meatballs are no less often served as a main course, and they can be fried, stewed and even baked. The last option will allow you to get a diet dish that fits perfectly into any diet. Meatballs as an independent dish are well suited to mashed potatoes, pasta and cereals (for example, rice or buckwheat), and all kinds of sauces, such as creamy, mushroom, sour cream, tomato, cranberry or lingonberry, will be excellent additions to them.
To make meatballs from minced meat tasty and juicy, you should add chopped onions to them - raw or fried. If you are preparing meatballs for soup, you do not need to add an egg to the minced meat, as it can make the meatballs excessively hard, but when frying, stewing or baking meatballs, the egg is a necessary component, as it helps the meat balls to keep their shape during heat treatment and not fall apart. It is worth noting that double chopping meat through a meat grinder with a fine grate will prevent the meatballs from falling apart even in the absence of an egg. In addition, this procedure will make minced meatballs more tender and juicy. Also, for this purpose, minced meat can be beaten off.
Softness and splendor can be given to meatballs using semolina or a long loaf - a little liquid should be added to the semolina and allowed to swell for half an hour, and the loaf should be soaked for 10 minutes in water or milk, and then squeezed. You can also use breadcrumbs. It is worth noting that in the event that you add semolina or breadcrumbs to minced meat, let the minced meat stand for about 10 minutes before sculpting meatballs so that all components are well bonded to each other. If the stuffing seems too dry to you, you can flavor it with a few tablespoons of melted butter. And, of course, it will never be superfluous to add spices and chopped greens to the minced meat for meatballs - it will turn out very fragrant and appetizing.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the size of the meatballs - you do not need to make them too large, since it will be difficult for large meat balls to keep their shape. The ideal size of meatballs for soup is with a cherry, the size of meatballs for a second course is with Walnut or a little more. Sculpt meatballs with wet hands. Once you've formed the meatballs, let them rest for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator - this will help them keep their shape well. Minced meatballs are good because they can be double-cooked and frozen. If you are adding frozen meatballs to your soup, there is no need to defrost them as they will cook quickly in boiling water, but if you are planning to stew or bake the meatballs, they should be allowed to thaw.
Minced meatballs are delicious meals for the whole family without the hassle, and we will start with the simplest and most popular of them. I'm talking, of course, about the soup. Soup with meatballs is loved by both adults and children. In addition to its wonderful taste, this soup allows housewives to save a lot of time, as meat balls are cooked very quickly.
