    After wetting your hands in cold water, take a portion of minced meat, make the first cutlet and put it on a heated frying pan. In the same way, make the following cutlets and fry them on both sides until golden brown. Since the frying pan is hot, the minced meat will quickly seize, which will not allow the cutlets to fall apart. However, in order for the meat to be fully cooked inside, fry the cutlets over medium heat. So a beautiful crust is formed, and the cutlets inside will not remain raw.

You can check whether the oil has warmed up well enough in a frying pan in a simple way. Lower a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the frying process.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
