Here’s a quick tip for you! Have you ever had to make a really large batch of meatballs–either for a HUGE meal or because you are making them ahead to freeze them? Well it can take forever to roll out all those meatballs. Pinch off a little piece of meat mixture, roll it into a ball, repeat.
Here’s a way to speed up the process. Take your meatball mixture and pat it out into a big rectangle about 1/2 of an inch thick. Then take a knife an cut through the meat horizontally then vertically to form little squares.
Viola–each one of those squares is a meatball–just pick it up and roll it quickly between your palms to change it from a cube into a ball. You’d be amazed at how this little change can make the meatball process go so much faster!
There you go!
We use a cookie scoop, looks like a smaller version of an ice cream scoop, to make meatballs.
Wow! What a good idea. I hate making meat balls, and trying to make them even. This is so easy.
Glad this tip helped you out Melissa!
I bet that would work with cookie dough too
I never thought of it, but I bet you are right!!
