smurfy Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 man, I remember my grandma used to fry all there steaks and pork chops. they'd use a lot of lard or whatever. when the meat was done it was a dog fight to the fryin pan with bread. they'd dip the bread into all the goodies on the bottom of the pan. maybe why gramps had a heart attack at 62! reinhard1 and lovebigbluegills 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delcecchi Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) A Tablespoon of Mayo has 10 grams of fat, so a half cup or 8 tbsp has 80 grams of fat. Two pounds of burger is about 900 grams, so you are increasing the fat percent by 9 percent. So that 80 percent lean burger becomes 71 percent lean. No wonder it's juicy/greasy. Not that there is anything wrong with that.... How about mixing in a stick of butter, melted? About same amount of fat and would taste Awesome..

RebelSS Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I don't think anyone flipping some big, fat, juicy burgers on the grill is worried a lot about fat...or they'd be sitting in their faux bamboo lawn chair eating tofu and watercress "burgers".

delcecchi Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Nah, but too much fat makes stuff greasy, and it sometimes stays greasy all the way..... And too much fat is bad for my shape. Although round is a shape, it isn't my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelSS Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I find a nice 85% lean chuck, from my favorite place, is just right....if ya pull them off when light pink inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
