It comes precooked in a big plastic container. You have to drain the fat from it. Also it comes frozen in a roll precooked. You have to heat it up and drain the fat.

Tip the pan and scoop out the grease with a spoon

>> No.9667173

In my household growing up we always just tipped the pan and poured it down the drain. Never had any problems or clogs or whatever, I guess we had a garbage disposal with an effective grease trap. In college I lived with people who always insisted on pouring it in a can, including one guy who actually saved the can in the freezer until it got full. He said you could cook with it or something. I think the difference is that he came from a very poor family who probably had bad plumbing and couldn't afford to waste the fat.

Nowadays I'm a little skittish about just pouring it down the drain, because that does seem like it would be bad for the drainage when you think about it, so I like to push the meat over to one side, tilt the pan, and soak up the grease that spills out with a paper towel that I can just throw away (or compost I guess if you're into that).

>> No.9667186

I don't drain it, I use leaner beef grind and let it rest for 30 minutes after mixing with baking soda. This let's the beef hold more of the fat and dry out less. Usually only end up with about a tablespoon of fat left and nice chunky bits of ground beef.

you can use baking soda to drastically reduce the time required to caramelize onions, tried and it worked. something about the base soda accelerating the reaction. only a tiny pinch of it was needed, too much makes them mushy.

You're fucking retarded. They look nothing alike. I've cooked all kinds of beef mince and at no stage, no matter how you cook it does it ever look anything like OP's picture. I think all the beef in my country is grass fed though, so maybe that's what dogfood tier beefmince looks like.

That is what the article is saying, yes. But they add that grass fed tastes more "gamey" and *AS* rich and buttery as grain-fed.

So basically grass-fed = gamey. And that is what all the farmers around here say too.

>> No.9669831

>>9669808
Hmm okay I take it all back, that site and a few others with niggers that know seem to think the primary differences are fat/leanness and gamey/soft flavors. Apparently grass fed has more variation in taste. Still its better for you right, or is that a meme too?

>> No.9669842

>>9669831
The fats in grass fed are considered to be on the healthier side of the spectrum, but if you're eating enough meat for it to make a difference, you've got bigger issues than whether it's grass fed or not
