Notes

General Panade guidelines:
For meatballs and meatloaf:
  • 1/4 cup starch : 1/4 cup liquid : 1 pound ground meat
For example, if you're making meatballs, soak 1/4 cup breadcrumbs in 1/4 cup milk and mix with 1 pound ground beef (you'll probably be adding 1 egg per pound or two of meat, too).
For burgers:
  • 2 tbsp starch : 2 tbsp liquid : 1 pound ground meat
