Some people are thinking that rinsing minced meat before using is the healthier way. They are stating that this reduces the fat content in the minced meat, as for people who would like to drop their weight.

Some other people are suggesting that washing minced meat is causing the meat to lose its flavour. It removes fat it is true, but it also changes the taste and moisture the meat, where it leads the dish to be dry and bland.

USDA experts stated that washing the meat is not necessary, since the heat it is facing will kill any bacteria the minced meat has on it.
