How to Make Delicious Hamburgers Even When Served Cold

Because your food had gone cold, you may think that there is no way and that there's no choice. However, by following these simple tricks, you can still enjoy eating a juicy hamburger even when it's cold. Here's how.

1. Drain the fat from ground beef as much as possible.

Remove as much fat as possible. The fat will solidify all throughout the food when it's cold. This will make the burger less appealing texture-wise because of the congealed fat, and chewy cold connective tissue.

2. Mix chicken meat and pork or beef meat at a ratio of 1:1.

Meat fats contain various components that have different melting points. To ensure tender texture and juicy bite, the meat must be cooked at ideal temperature. This would be at around 30 degrees Celsius (86°F) for chicken meat, 40°C (104°F) for pork, and 50°C (122°F) for beef.

To get the best tender texture and tastier meat even when cold, it is best to combine chicken meat and pork meat at a ratio of 1:1.

3. Use Oat or Wheat Bran

Both oat bran and wheat bran are great substitutes for breadcrumbs in breading meat. They are both excellent even when consumed cold, while at the same time, adding bulk and nutrition to the meat.

4. Add Vinegar

Vinegar contains a mixture solution of acetic acid. This acid can soften tough meat fibers.
