Minced meat is one of the most difficult foods to freeze. It is difficult to prevent them from becoming lumpy, practically indivisible balls that are very difficult to thaw. On Tik-Tok, a simple trick to achieve this has gone viral. To carry out this trick, all you need is an airtight freezer bag and a knife.
First, the minced meat is put into the bag and closed. It is put on a flat surface and crushed. The idea is that the meat is distributed evenly more or less homogeneous, occupying as much space in the bag as possible.
Once this has been achieved, with the back of a knife, the part that does not cut, divisions are made in the meat from outside the bag. Ideally, they should be about the size of a serving. With this, what is intended is that once the meat is frozen, you can use only a part of what is stored and keep the rest well refrigerated.
Then, all that remains is to put it in the freezer. It is important not to break the cold chain and refreeze once the product has thawed.
Minced meat is a very common product in Spanish homes. It is common to eat it with pasta, for example taking advantage of a sauce with onion, garlic and tomato; or also to make hamburgers.
