how did people even cook in the 80s, before the internet? I presume they only ate brown sludge and gruel. think about it: if they came up with a recipe, they didn't immediately have a bunch of people come in and tell them the million things they did wrong. they probably seasoned their ground beef BEFORE making it into patties, or used olive oil in a hot pan. how disgusting every thing must have been.

They had cookbooks, moron.

OP this might come as a surprise but people had ways of socialising and sharing ideas before the internet was a thing. You might phone Sheila and excitedly tell her you made pasta with just garlic and butter and shit might say "omg I've tried that, you've gotta try that with a pinch of salt" and boom you have recipe mods.

It’s not. Any meat should be seasoned as Thoroughly as possible.

Some retards think it dried out the burger, but it just makes it a bit more salty. Next time you grill up some burgers just do a small test and taste the difference.

I don't eat meat but iirc it makes the ground beef adhere to itself worse, and if you use salt it'll fuck up the texture and wick away the juice.

I think it's best to season it after forming unless the burger is very thick

>> No.14797130

>>14797086

It isn't. This is an example of how the internet spreads bullshit false information. Why the fuck would you not want to have the seasoning all throughout the patty?

>> No.14797136

>wick away the juice

How the fuck is the seasoning going to wick away the juice if it is part of the patty itself? What, it is going to wick away the juice and then transport it to another dimension?

People didn’t cook. Women cooked. And women’s job when growing up was to help their mother with all her chores so that she could do them for her future family. As is good and as it should be.

But now young girls are pushed into roles they’re not fit for and have no time for cooking. Men obviously are to busy providing to be concerned with cooking. So the only people who can cook are men that do it professionally. And that’s how you get this Skip the Dishes/UberEats, no work, instant gratification cutler we have today.

Salt draws the moisture out of the meat, and thus liberated it more readily evaporates upon exposure to heat

semi- based. reciblogs are the bane of my existence. But cookbooks bow to the lowest common denominator and make "okay" food at best.

You would think the internet would make it easier to find good stuff.

>> No.14797336

>>14797264

This sounds like bullshit broscience. I've cooked plenty of burgers with salt and they were juicy. Again, where is the moisture going to go if the salt is inside of the patty? If anything, based off of this logic, seasoning the patty itself afterwards would just suck out the meat and evaporate it into the air since the salt now has contact with air.

In my experience the only thing that dries out the meat is adding a fuckton of breadcrumbs and/or overcooking it.

Cookbook days were better. People read through the recipes a couple times before starting. Now people follow along on phones and tablets recipes or videos step by step. They retain less information and have less understanding. It's making people really stupid. You'd think the opposite would happen with easy access to all the knowledge, but it is not so.

Before youtube, there was
Julia Child
Jeff Smith (froog)
Jacques Pepin
Yan Can Cook
Justin Wilson

and a handful of other cooking instructors on one of the four television channels. Want to say on Saturday early afternoon, but local schedules vary.
Each program was usually a little entertainment, a little background information, some technique demonstration, and then the plating/presentation/tasting after the dish comes out of the second magical oven fully cooked after being placed into the first oven.

what the fuck dude, most people didn't have internet at home until the 2000s.
Like everyone else said, cookbooks. My mom's been cooking the same things out of a giant 1950s black and white cookbook for decades.

There was also cooking shows on TV, but you had to tape the show on VCR so you could rewing the bits you weren't clear about and pause it to take notes and double check everything and follow along at your own pace, trying to cook in real time with a TV show must have felt like a military drill
