Why add mineral water to minced cutlets: you will be pleased with the result

What do housewives add to minced cutlets?

Usually we are talking about bread soaked in milk, as well as raw eggs, onions, potatoes, spices...

But an additive such as carbonated mineral water is mentioned very rarely.

And in vain, because thanks to this additional ingredient, the cutlets come out perfect.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova told about an unusual culinary trick.

Why add mineral water to minced meat for cutlets

The fizzy additive will make the dish tender and juicy. And you won't have to put too much bread in the cutlet base (it's possible that you can completely avoid using this ingredient).

In addition, the soda will better reveal the flavor of the spices.

Thus, using mineral water as an additional ingredient guarantees an incredibly soft, juicy and appetizing dish. And also a dietary one: there will be less calories.

How to properly add mineral water to minced meat

It is important to remember the following: too much drink can make the cutlet base too liquid.

To avoid this problem, you need to adhere to the following ratio: for 700 grams of minced meat - a maximum of 100 milliliters of mineral water.

After adding carbonated water, leave the resulting mass “alone” for at least 5 minutes.

This “rest” will allow the minced meat to acquire the ideal consistency and be “soaked” in spices.
