Learn to do not only tasty, but also beautiful cutlets - that's the dream, perhaps, of any young housewife. As it turns out, it's much easier to find your ideal recipe for minced meat cutlets than to get cutlets from the same shape and size. But to avoid the long food anguish in an effort to achieve cutlet perfection is quite simple - you just need to buy a special mold for making cutlets.
Types of forms for making cutlets
We will make a reservation at once that the modern market does not greatly indulge us with a variety of forms for making this meat dish. Rather, you can talk about different variations on the same topic - the form for cutlets usually consists of three main parts:
- bottom cover;
- top cover;
- press.
Put together these three parts and are a mold for making cutlets with or without stuffing. Experience shows that it is most convenient to use those molds for cutlets that have a removable bottom - in this case, there is no problem with extracting the formed cutlet from them.

How to use a mold for making cutlets with filling?
In order to make a tasty and beautiful cutlet with filling with the help of the form, you should perform the following operations:
- Dampen all parts of the mold with cold water. This is necessary in order for the finished cutlet to slip out of the mold without any problems.
- Put half of the portion of minced meat in the bottom lid, close the top lid and use a press to form a groove for filling in the stuffing.
- Open the mold and put the filling in the groove. It can be any, starting with vegetables, cheese, eggs, mushrooms and finishing with mashed potatoes. The only restriction is that the filling should not be liquid.
- In the top cover, put in the second half of the portion of the stuffing and close the mold. Connect all parts of the cutlet together with a press.
- Open the mold and carefully remove the cutlet from the mold.
As a result of the repetition of these simple operations, you can get a large number of neat cutlets of the same size in a short time. The only "but" - most molds are designed for making hamburger fillings, which means that cutlets can be made in them only in the size of 10-12 cm in diameter. Adherents of the same minimalism should look for the sale of forms for cutlets with variable size.
