Why do you wrap it? Couldn't you also form the burger patty without the cling film?
- whoknowsidont 1y agoPretty common thing to do to help limit cleanup and help shape the patties (regardless of what they're made of).
- makingstuffs 1y agoIt allows you to add some pressure to the patty while providing it a restricted space in which it can expand. By doing so the ingredients seem to form a much stronger bond (from my experience). I used to do the same with beef when I ate it. Also, rolling it into a ball and then wrapping before flattening gives a much better shape to the resulting patty
- bell-cot 1y agoIf you'd rather avoid the single-use-ish plastic, then wax paper usually works as well.
