    Strainer, sure. Removing liquids as it cooks, sure. But washing it? What’s happening to your seasoning? The flavor? If it’s a problem, cook 97% lean beef lmao

    we certainly live in interesting, scary and funny times 😂 can’t believe people actually rinse their cooked ground beef 😂😂

    The same people who think salt and pepper alone are seasoning enough, and anything else is too spicy. 🙄
