- Layout cling film on your bench with a few overlapping layers ready for your mince in a minute
- Set up your mincer and add all ingredients collecting your mince as it comes out and laying it on the cling film you set up earlier. Build up the meat in layers almost like you are rebuilding a sausage
- Once all the meat is minced roll the mix in the clingfilm nice and tightly like a sausage. Tie of the ends and put in the fridge to firm up for a couple of hours before cutting into privatepatties
Cheese Emulsion

- Clarify your butter and grate your cheese and put to one side.
- Take your egg mix from the thermo and place in a metal bowl. Pour your clarified butter into the mix slowly giving it a chance to combine.
- Add your cheese right at the end and season with the whey from the butter and cayenne pepper.
