⚙ Pan-fryingStoveFrying pan
💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
5
Fry the meatballs 3–4 minutes per side, until they turn golden.
Stove
💡Don't press the patties with a spatula or flip them more than once: the juices run out and the patty dries out or falls apart. It releases from the pan once the underside is browned.
6
Halve the buns.
Knife
7
Arrange the lettuce and tomatoes in each bun, and top with a hot patty.
