If you brown 80% lean (20% fat) ground beef and drain the fat, is that the same as using 97% lean (3% fat) beef?

Only if you are willing to rinse the beef crumbles in hot water afterwards. Just frying and draining the fat is not enough to get it down to 97% lean. Whether you cook 80% lean (20% fat) or cook 70% lean (30%) fat, the end result is about 11 grams of fat in a fried beef patty if you start out with 100 grams of beef.

You will need to rinse ground beef crumbles in hot water to get it lower to 4 grams. It would not be as tasty. Duenhsiyen.

No, the really lean meat doesn't taste juicy, and kind of crumbles when you cook it. I can't recommend it. A better choice would be to buy fattier meat and eat less of it, eat it less often or slip into a dish made up with other ingredients so that each person's portion of meat is less.

After the fat cooks away, you're left with less meat, so you'll need to buy more of the 80% lean to wind up with the same volume as you'd had with the 97% lean meat.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
