M EATS AND FISH

Hamburgers

Chop meatto the exacttexture you want — and control the amount of fat Our test kitchen finds 20% fat ideal — less than the usual supermarket mixture. Use boneless beef—round, chuck oranycutyou choose. Before chopping it, trim offall membrane, gristleand fat. Reserve the fat, which will usually be more than you need. Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes and chill until slightlyfirm—usually 30 minutes in the freezer.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 pound combined'meat and fat

If you don't have a kitchen scale, measure solidly packed beef cubes and solidly packed fat cubes in cups, beforechilling them, as follows:

1-1/4 cups beef cubes 1/4 cup fat cubes

Put beef and fat in work bowl and chop with metal blade. Pulse/chop a fewtimesto start, then let machine run continuously, checking every 5 seconds tocheck consistency. Bevery careful not to over-

process.

Handle hamburgerwith a light touch. Removework bowl from processor base and carefullytake out metal blade. Useas little pressureas possible in shaping patties.
