Do not use a fork, which pierces the beef and allows flavorful juices to escape. Turn ground beef patties with a spatula. Leave a thin layer of fat on steaks and roasts during cooking to preserve juiciness. Trim fat after cooking. For best results, use the pan size specified in the recipe.
Correct measurements contribute to successful recipes.
