Though I've seen a few people commit this kitchen heresy in private, the first time I saw someone publicly rinsing beef under the sink\u2014and calling it a \"hack\"\u2014was in this TikTok video<\/a> a couple of years ago. TikTok user Emily Harper purports to show a trick she learned in nutrition class, noting in the video, \"All this grease is disgusting. So get rid of it!\" She then puts her cooked ground beef<\/a> in a strainer and runs it under the sink faucet, washing away the grease and putting the dry meat back in the pan.\r\n\r\nUnsurprisingly, the internet lost its mind in outrage and it went viral for all the wrong reasons. \"That video of someone rinsing their ground beef is going to ruin my week,\" tweeted one person. \"Who rinses off ground meat!\" exclaimed another TikToker in a duet<\/a>. There were so many negative comments on the video that Harper had to turn them off.\r\nShould You Rinse Ground Beef?<\/h2>\r\nThe short answer is no. First of all, that \"grease\" is rendered fat, which is what gives the delicious flavor to your ground beef. While it's fine to get rid of some excess grease, you always want to keep some of it in the pan. If you rinse away all the grease, you're literally rinsing away flavor, and your beef will end up dry. Find out if draining and rinsing meat<\/a> reduces the fat content.\r\n\r\nSecondly, pouring that grease down the sink is terrible for your pipes. Yes, the grease is in a liquid form when you pour it from the pan, but as soon as it cools, it's going to gum up and potentially block your pipes. The fats from grease bond together with other discarded fats and chemicals to create blockages. These can cause serious problems in the sewer system and lead to backups in your neighborhood. Even a teaspoon of grease down the drain now and then can add up. You should always\u00a0dispose of grease<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0cooking oil<\/a> the right way (for instance, by letting it cool in a container first and then tossing the container) without putting it down the sink. Find out if you should wash your food before cooking<\/a>.\r\nHow to Drain Grease from Ground Beef<\/h2>\r\nFirst of all, don't deal with hot grease\u2013wait until it cools. Next, you need to pour it into a disposable container, such as a yogurt or sour cream container or an old can. You can also use a plastic bag that has some debris such as used paper towels or vegetable peels that can help soak it up. Another option is to install a disposable grease trap<\/a> in your sink drain. Finally, you can always save meat or bacon grease to use for cooking later, like grandma did<\/a>.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tSuper Easy Ground Beef Dinners<\/div>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t1 \/ 50<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t[dam-video dam-id=\"45244\" msn_thumb_id=\"1640283\" type_of_player=\"jw\" \/]\r\nUnstuffed Peppers<\/a>\r\nTotal Time:\u00a0<\/strong>30 minutes\r\nMain Ingredients:\u00a0<\/strong>Instant rice, ground beef, green peppers\r\nLevel:\u00a0<\/strong>Easy\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Go to Recipe\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/unstuffed-peppers\/\" \/]\r\n\r\nThis quick ground beef recipe is a fun take on stuffed peppers<\/a> that will leave everyone satisfied.
