Hot Tips

Hamburgers

Be careful not to over-handle hamburger patties when you are moulding them. The more you touch them the more compact the meat will become. This will result in a tough, dense hamburger.

Glossary

Bombe

A frozen dessert made by lining a special mould with ice cream or sorbet. The centre is filled with a mousse, cream or parfait mixture. The mould is tightly sealed and the dessert is frozen solid before unmolding and serving.
