Reply With QuoteI buy ground sirloin with very very very little fat in it. I don't rinse mine because there isn't enough fat to rinse. I don't know about others but my butcher says that 4 oz. of the ground sirloin I get is about 4 G. Fat.

For the most part if you fry your beef in a pan then rinse it under water you can eliminate approximately 50% of the fat. BTW...you should still purchase lean or xtra lean regardless if you're rinsing it or not.
Searching for the right balance...

Really? So if I were to rinse out my g. turkey or beef in a pan, I can always estimate the fat to be half for my numbers?

Get it lean and rinsing is a waste of time if your meat is lean enough. Not to mention how nasty it tastes afterwards. The speck of fat that x-lean beef has in it is not worth the hassle IMO!
Sometimes FF and I differ in opinions, nothing wrong with that.

I agree with Jodi. The fat gives it the taste. Rinse it and it is nasty!

I just do it very simple - get 96% lean maveric ground beef. Tastes good & no washing silliness.
