Red Seal Cook

Category - Garde-manger

When preparing forcemeat in a warm kitchen, further emulsification may be necessary. How is this done?
  1. Add crushed ice bit by bit while the food processor is running
  2. Add more eggs and cream
  3. Add more back fat
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - Although the point of adding fat to forcemeat is to emulsify the mixture, emulsification won’t occur if the meat is too warm. If working in a particularly warm kitchen, or if the food processor has been running for too long, the best course of action is to add ice chips to the mixture. Incidentally, doing so also adds moisture to the mix.
