How not to cook cutlets: mistakes that spoil the dish

Cutlets are often dry and tough. It also happens that they are simply impossible to bite off. This is because you add the wrong products to the minced meat and simply spoil the dish.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you about the most common mistakes.

Adding eggs

To bind the minced meat, eggs are often added to it. This ingredient is supposed to help keep the mass from falling apart and make it easy to make patties. However, after frying, the products turn out dry. This happens because of the eggs.

Adding milk

To make the mass tender and fluffy, bread soaked in milk is added to the minced meat. However, milk can make the mass very hard. Therefore, it is better to use plain water.

What is the best thing to add to cutlets

Minced meat will be juicy and tender if you add vegetables to it. It can be zucchini, peppers, or carrots. Cutlets are especially tasty with cabbage.
