Abstract

A method for removing fat from a meat patty by heating the meat patty on both sides to a temperature sufficient to cause fat contained in the meat patty to liquefy, and then applying pressure to the meat patty sufficient to cause at least a portion of the liquefied fat contained in the meat patty to be exuded therefrom. The method also preferably includes the step of injecting a liquid flavoring solution into the cooked and pressed meat patty to improve flavor and juiciness.
