The secret of cooking delicious meat lies not only in the recipe, but also in the technique of its pre-processing. Sometimes it really turns out to be not as soft as we would like. The situation can be saved by beating him before cooking. Even the highest quality meat benefits from this. The beating makes it not only soft, but also juicy. As a rule, a special hammer is used for beating. However, other improvised items do an excellent job with this task.
It is necessary
- - knife;
- - rolling pin for dough;
- - Glass bottle;
- - wooden potato grinder;
- - frying pan.
Instructions
Step 1
You can beat off meat in the absence of a special hammer with a knife. This will require a heavy and thick knife. Cut the meat into pieces and beat them not with a sharp, but with the back of the knife in different directions. You can also use the handle of the knife if it is wide enough.
Step 2
Making the meat soft can be done with an ordinary glass bottle, or rather, its neck. When beating with it, pieces of meat are obtained even more tender and airy than when beating with a hammer. To do this, simply knock on a piece of meat with the neck. However, you can also beat it off with the bottom of the bottle. In this case, it is more expedient to pre-fill it with water.
Step 3
A rolling pin for dough and a wooden crush for mashed potatoes do a good job of a hammer. Just don't overdo it. Excessive beating can turn juicy meat into dry meat.
Step 4
You can beat off pieces of meat with the flat side of the pan. Only beforehand they should be wrapped in plastic wrap or plastic bag for hygiene purposes.
Step 5
A stone will perfectly cope with the role of a hammer for meat. To do this, you need to find a weighty cobblestone, place it in a plastic bag and only after that start beating the meat.
Step 6
A piece of meat can be beaten off with the base or edge of your palm. True, to beat off is loudly said. Rather, you can just tenderize the meat.
