Using Ice Cubes to Improve the Texture of Ground Meat

When mixing ground meat for burgers or meatballs, add one or two ice cubes to the mixture and gently mix. Alternatively, you can place a small ice cube in the center of each burger patty before grilling.
For sausages, mix the ice cubes directly into the meat mixture before stuffing.
Bonus Tip:

Some chefs also recommend using crushed ice instead of whole ice cubes for better incorporation into the meat mixture.
This technique is gaining popularity for its simplicity and effectiveness in improving the quality of homemade meat dishes.
