Hamburger meat (minced beef), is a really versatile meat to have in your meal planning arsenal. But sometimes, I want to change the texture of ground meat to something finer, so I boil it. And it's better for your plumbing! Let me show you how!

OMG! Finally someone knows not to drain fat down the drain. Every video I've watched they would drain the fat down the drain with hot water. Thank you for explaining this to everyone.

@elizabethhallowell5115 Год назад

It’s common sense for those with septic systems but everyone will pay if all drained fat in public systems ..

@derp8575 2 месяца назад

It's probably not going to harm anything if you do it once or twice. Definitely not good for long-term disposal.

I've been looking for the best way to prepare ground beef for dehydrating and never thought to boil it. This would give me clean beef with minimal fat residue for drying, tallow for cooking, and broth for soup. PERFECT! Thank you.

@ptanyer Год назад

I’ve been doing this for over 55 years🙂 My mom and dad taught us to boil GB when it was going into something like hot dog chili, spaghetti, sloppy joes, vegetable soup, etc. We would use a potato masher to break it into a smaller or finer GB, and drain it. As an adult, I went further and would drain it and freeze it in 1 lb portions, to put it into freezer containers. Then I started using freezer bags and vacuum sealed the bags and put it into the freezer. When I make large batches of hot dog chili or taco meat, I always portion it out, cool it and put into vacuum seal bags and freeze it. Thank you for all the information and videos you provide and the service you provide to the community!

BIG, BIG THANKS! Long story, but I bought a recipe book, and the author mentioned this technique. I thought she was crazy. I've never heard of boiling beef. Now it makes complete sense. Furthermore, with all of these cooking gurus running around, I'm surprised I haven't heard of this method before. The author's name is Cathy MItchell. The cookbook touts, "As seen on TV". I personally hate cooking. I find it too time consuming until I get hungry enough. I, ironically, collect cooking books. Again, thanks for the video.

@debrabendickson8088 2 года назад

@oldtimerlee8820 4 года назад

FWIW for those who don't object, both the beef fat and broth can be saved for further use. After chilling and removing the fat, beef broth can be pressure canned. Makes a great addition to beef soups and stews. Economical, too! Since mason jars are re-usable, the only cost is the lids and the fuel expense for the stove. Don't pour it down the drain when you can put it on a pantry shelf. The fat can also be used.Strain and refrigerate. If you want it further rendered, GENTLY evaporate some of the remaining water - be careful as you don't want to burn it or start a fire!!. Use it for pastry, biscuits, gravy and often as a substitute when a generic oil is used in a recipe. Experiment before tossing a good resource into a trash can or flushing down a drain.

Nice tips, great way to get a step ahead on nightly meals. When I skim off beef fats I'll save them in a glass jar in the fridge. I mean bacon grease is still king but beef (and chicken) fats do add great flavor to dishes and sometimes I use that instead of butter when I need to saute veggies.

How about dehydrating the meat and sealing in food saver bags or vacuum seal jars? Would that work like for your dehydrated taco coup recipe?

@karenmercer3006 Год назад

I love your videos and hope to one day begin dehydrating. I just wanted to say that, in regards to the hamburger water left in the pot instead of throwing it away it can be boiled down so it will get a little more beefy tasting . Macaroni noodles can be boiled in it along with garlic, onion powder, some of the hamburger, and cheese if you want and it is a pretty good casserole. The sky is the limit as what other things can be put in. I suppose taco seasoning would be good too. That way only the fat is wasted.

@nickangelovski4358 5 лет назад

@donaldsmith3048 3 года назад

I do something about the same. I don't use as much water when I do it. Then I put in jars for pressure canning. I let the liquid cool remove the fat then use the liquid to put it the jars to fill them up leaving head space. There is some good in the water after you remove the fat. If you remove the fat then cook down what is in the water there is a gelatin like to the liquid. I don't cook it down and most of the time I don't end up using all of the water from cooking the meat. But I think there is some food value in the water after letting it cool and removing the far. I size the jars I pressure can to what I want to use it for. If I will use it to make up a 8 qt pot of beans I use qt jars. That with about 2 lbs of beans a pint jar of onions I canned, a pt jar of tomatoes, with whatever I want to add makes up 8qt , that I can put into pt jars and pressure can to eat when I need it. As much as possible I grow what I can. The city will not let me grow beef in my yard! But I can grow beans, tomatoes, onions, some peppers. Not had luck with corn! Just made strawberry jam most of them I grew.

If you want to can it you can, I freeze it. A tender texture isn't always a bad thing, but hamburger meat canned is one of those you love it or hate it things, so you'll have to try out a few for yourself. You can also dehydrate it, though the optimum storage for that is in the freezer - but it can be taken out for camping meals, short term meals in a jar, etc.

Just started to watch your videos (thanks to Suttons Daze ;)) and have been enjoying them. Thanks.

@ThePurposefulPantry 4 года назад

Batch cooking is a technique to do large quantities of meals or ingredients and put them up for later use. I don't normally boil meat (except in the case of meat like this). It's a tool. This technique wouldn't work in an electric pressure cooker in quite the same way. However, using an EPC is great for doing chunks of meat quickly, or doing 2X a meal and storing up the rest.

I'm late to this, but I didn't see how you removed the fat. At the end you showed how it remains on the top and can be skimmed, which is easy to do, but as you scoop that meat out and the liquid falls, the fat doesn't necessarily get removed that way...or am I wrong? Maybe you are saying the fat that remains is insignificant when you scoop it out? But then you say some people rinse gr. beef in hot water. No matter how you rinse or boil, your channel is really good!

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 года назад

I've never tried it, so I cannot say for sure. But I find it works this way to remove the fat out of the hamburger meat because it can be a greater percentage than bison or lamb. And yes, you can then dehydrate it , then store if for a few weeks on the shelf, but for long-term storage, you'll have best results in the freezer.

The Purposeful Pantry I use the boiling method from freezer and set it at medium high and it actually breaks it up since water is at a rolling boil, about 20 minutes and then break it up more as it cooks down before I season it and I have never had a problem and I've been using this method almost 35 years.

Can I rinse this with hot water and then dehydrate?

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 года назад

This is how I recommend preparing ground beef for dehydrating. But by the safest standards, it will need to be kept in the freezer.

@RattledEditor 3 года назад

? can this method be effective for pork sausage? It would seem so. I cooked off the pork, drained, used a salad spinner to pull off more fat but even though dehydrated into crispy bits, it's still really fatty/oily. Please advise

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 года назад

Sausage contains much more fat than most hamburger meat. You can do it, and expect to then store it in the freezer, but I wouldn't recommend it.

@RattledEditor 3 года назад

@@ThePurposefulPantry thx for responding! I just boiled the previously dehydrated but still super oily sausage, skimmed all the fat off (took awhile!) and now have fluffly dry pork sausage with flavor still in tact. I'm hopeful it will be just fine in a few hours all thanks to the boiling method for removing fat!!

@RattledEditor 3 года назад

@@ThePurposefulPantry Good news! It worked out beautifully! Even the trays (Excalibur) are non-greasy/fatty after dehydrating the rinsed, skimmed sausage: all 12 lbs of it! Yahooo. Pass it on!!

Yes, bit store it in the freezer for best results.

Can the broth be used for soups, chili, etc? Boiling ground beef is not the traditional way to make beef broth, but will it work?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 месяца назад

Sure if you want. It is broth of a certain kind.

@@ThePurposefulPantry Thanks! Will give it a try! Recently purchased a 30 quart stockpot and have to cook 15-20lbs of ground beef.

Yesterday I boiled about 15lbs of ground beef. It worked really well! Much faster, easier and less messy than frying it. Apparently many Mexican restaurants boil their ground beef. Thanks a bunch!

@tashasinspirations9029 5 лет назад

Wow, Darcy - great idea in boiling the meat first! I never thought of how much fat actually shows up in ground beef when boiled. Now, I know the importance of boiling my ground beef and cooling it down first before dumping it into the trash. I usually make it a point to scrape out the grease from my frying pan, (i.e. bacon grease) then throwing away in the trash instead of washing it down my sink. So, quick question... What product would you recommend to best clean out the residual grease in my sink pipes? Dawn or Bleach? I like to use "Dawn" for washing my dishes and pans because it cuts through the grease and hopefully helps clean out the grease in my plumbing. However, it's more important to me health wise, that by boiling the meat will help cut down the amount of fat from clogging my arteries; which is more important than my pipes in my sink.

@ThePurposefulPantry 5 лет назад

I use baking soda / vinegar a lot. I don't use bleach.

@parsimyrum553 Год назад

Can it be dehydrated?

@ThePurposefulPantry Год назад

Yes, but it's not reliably shelf stable, so you'll want to store it in the freezer for optimal storage. It can be used for hiking/camping meals and short-term meals in a jar.

@angelajay13 2 года назад

Should the water be salted?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 года назад

I don't - but you can - I wait to season mine with the meal I'm going to make from it.

@lindalee9306 Год назад

How long do you dehydrate it for

@ThePurposefulPantry Год назад

This wasn't about dehydrating. But you dry anything until it's dry . However long it takes.

@lindalee9306 Год назад

I hate to sound ignorant but just boiling hamburger meat and putting it in a canning jar is all you have to do and it's safe? I watched the video twice because I was positive I had missed something.. it needs no processing of any type?

@ThePurposefulPantry 2 года назад

Not if I'm preserving it this way, no.

Until it's done. It will depend on your meat, how much you have in the pot, etc. You'll judge it by how it looks for you.

@netanel8897 3 года назад

Wow great! Question: After cooking this way, should i add it to the dish and dry together? Because I want the flavors to be absorbed in the meat.. I want to make chili con carne, and I know it is better to separate the vegetables (125F) from the meat (160F) during cooking and the drying process. I'm new to it. Thanks.

@ThePurposefulPantry 3 года назад

i don't recommend dehydrating beef at all because of the fats/proteins and long-term storage safety. But if you're doing it for a hiking/camping meal you plan on eating i the next short bit, and storing in the freezer, you can do it together and make sure to over dry, then store in the freezer until you need it for your trip.

@netanel8897 3 года назад

@@ThePurposefulPantry Thank you very much it helps a lot ❤ Yes I forgot to mention that it is for the purpose of hiking and it is not for the purpose of long preservation (maybe a month) Thanks😊 By the way, waiting every day for your video on the show (dry December)
