Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 What exactly would you fry in fat from hamburger meat? Would you fry eggs, potatos? Those are the only 2 things I ever fry and usually I use coconut oil for potatos and butter for eggs. It doesn't sound too healthy to use this fat for anything but gravy. Is it healthy fat?

It's also probably better for tamales and pie crusts (coconut tamales??? Well, maybe in sweet tamales). -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 When I make the meatloaf I put it in a bread pan and let it cook in its fat. No fat left over here! : ) : ) : ) Rhea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Out of 2 lbs hamburger I can get 5 small loaves and I cook it in a pyrex dish. I much prefer the small loafs to the large loaf. Following the NT recipe you add water before you cook and it makes a lot of juice as it cooks in it's fat. I usually just serve this with the meat loaf and mashed potatoes but this time I froze the loafs and froze the juice. I think I am going to throw away the fat.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hello Ed,I would chop each ingredient separately. The meat will require a MUCH higher speed on the variable speed dial than the other ingredients and if you add the other ingredients they will turn to mush if you blend enough to get the meat chopped up. (If you want the texture of the individual ingredients in the meat loaf that is :-)The instructions for both the Salsa and the Chicken Salad recipes on this page will apply in the case of your meat loaf:http://blenderlady.com/recipes/ Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)www.BlenderLady.com(AKA the Vitamix Lady :-)<))>< On Jul 19, 2012, at 10:58 AM, wrote: Can I use the Vitamix to chop my meat and vegetables all at once for my meat loaf?ED in SF, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
