Recipes Tips:
If you're new to cooking with Impossible meat, here are a few tips to get you started:
1. Don't overcook the meat. Since Impossible meat is plant-based, it doesn't need to be cooked as long as real meat. Overcooking can result in a dry and crumbly texture.
2. Experiment with different seasonings. Unlike real meat, Impossible meat has a neutral flavor that can be easily enhanced with spices and herbs.
3. Use a non-stick pan or grill. Since Impossible meat doesn't contain any fat, it can stick to the pan or grill. Using a non-stick surface can prevent this from happening.
