The burgers multiply on the streets and fashion has also come to supermarkets, where the options for cooking at home are increasingly varied. However, a carving leaves a warning: the best meat for a hamburger is not bought at any place and there are clear signs that help distinguish good meat from a bad when it goes to the butcher, according to the HuffPost digital newspaper.
Signs to be observed in the butcher
According to the @lamadurada Tiktok account, which specializes in matured meats, the first factor to analyze is the color. A pale meat is a bad sign, while a “life” color indicates freshness and quality.
At the touch, the meat should not be dry. “If it is drier than Mojama, run away and look for one that is juicy to the touch,” recommends the carving, explaining that this characteristic increases the hypotheses that the hamburger undoes in the mouth.
Another warning goes to fat: if it is yellow and compact, the quality leaves something to be desired. Ideally, there is homogeneous infiltrated fat, according to the same source. And there is an important detail on the label: If only 70% is meat, it’s a bad sign. The recommendation is clear: Always opt for 100% veal meat.

The price also says a lot
According to the professional, poor quality meat tends to be cheaper, but the price difference for a good piece is not that great. “Quality is paid, but it is not much the difference,” he says, quoted by the same source.
A trick to cook better
The same carving recently shared another advice, this time to cook steaks. The tip is to enjoy a little of the fat of the flesh itself. “If we have a good veal, we have taken some fat and melt it on the already hot plate. About this natural olive oil, we cook the meat,” he explains, quoted by the digital newspaper.
According to the expert, using vegetable oil to cook beef interferes with the taste. “Oil is a vegetable fat and the meat is animal, so they are opposite flavors and end up annulled,” he warns.
