How To – Draining Ground Meat

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

NONE
Many cooks who use ground meat in their recipes want to drain off the
excess fat that accumulates in the pan as the meat browns. Tilt the pan so
the fat will accumulate on one side and blot it with wadded-up sheets of
paper towel that you hold with tongs. This way, no meat spills from the
pan, and a maximum amount of fat is removed. If using a gas burner, be sure
to keep the oily paper away from the flame.
