Title: Rinsing Lean Ground Beef?
Post by: gunnz on January 23, 2006, 10:24:03 AM: So let me get this straight:

You first cook your ground beef, then rinse it with hot water?

or

You first rinse your ground beef, then cook it?

And while we are on the subject, I get 96/4 Lean Ground Beef. Isn't this just as lean as the leanest steak?

I have seen it in grocery stores for almost $5 per lb.

I have a friend that works at a Meat Processing plant. I get 4 - 10 lb tubes for $100.

Post by: Bear03 on January 23, 2006, 08:47:20 PM: oh, huh, my mistake then.

i was thinking, you know, some fat might get trapped in the cooked portion, but if you rinsed in hot water before hand all the fat would melt and sort of congeal and slide off. oops.

EVERYONE LISTEN TO PRINCESS ABOUT NUTRITION.

Rinsing would be an ecconomical alternative to buying the $$$ stuff

Post by: JamieX4200 on January 25, 2006, 01:22:14 AM: When I cook the lean beef for pasta and what not, i put the meat in the strainer and drain the grease out... Seems to work pretty well.
