• When frying, do not press down the patty with a spatula, otherwise the juice will flow out and it will become dry.
• It is undesirable to lift cutlets in the process of frying to check for golden brown crust. Take your time, you should wait for some time, the meat will be prepared better if you are less likely to “disturb” it.
• To make the grilled meatballs juicy, on each side you need to fry them for no more than five minutes. The average degree of roasting can be obtained if you stand for a minute more, and to achieve maximum - cook, keeping up to 7 minutes per side.
• Preparations of meatballs should keep their shape well, so do not take excessively fatty pieces of minced meat pulp. If it is necessary to add liquid, do it gradually, carefully stirring each time.
