The Reason You Should Start Soaking Ground Meat In Heavy Cream
BY LAUREN ROTHMAN
You can elevate the flavor and texture of your ground meat by simply adding in some heavy cream, a fat-rich dairy product that has a pretty magical effect on the protein.
Heavy cream tenderizes meat without making it mushy and protects the protein from cooking too quickly, allowing it to maintain its juiciness better.
Ground meat may not need extra tenderizing, but the extra moisture retention surely helps. Start by mixing in 1 to 2 tablespoons of heavy cream per pound of ground meat.
Let it chill overnight in the fridge before proceeding with your favorite ground beef recipe, then observe as your ground beef browns more evenly while staying moist.
