Meatball

  Re: (...)
I am helping cook in a international dinner Somehow I ended up
assigned to cook the meatballs - I would like to bake them instead of
frying. Would this make a big difference?
Everything will be all right in the end. So if it is not right, then it's not yet the end.

Not at all -- I always bake mine, less messier than frying. I do mine for 30 minutes at 375.

When I worked for a caterer, I learned two tricks about meatballs.

First, use a portion (i.e. "ice-cream") scoop of the desired size for fast, consistent meatballs that take a lot less time to form than doing messy hand rolling. When you drop the meatballs onto the baking sheet, DON'T worry if they seem a little loose, since they will firm up when cooked.

Second, DO crowd them together, since they don't really need ANY space between them and they'll separate easily after cooking.

This is SO much better than messy hands and spattering, low-capacity frying pans.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

I've been baking mine also, Marye - much healthier and much easier! So, what ethnic meatballs are you making????

I bake mine also, the scoops work great, as does lining the pans with parchment. Easy cleanup.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.
