We've been getting Hello Fresh and that's how the mince is packaged - the method of cooking it is slightly different but it doesn't take any longer, and it ends up exactly the same... she just needs practice
.
(For anyone interested - rather than scattering it into the pan, it does come out in one big ... slab ... then sort of breaks into larger "balls" or clumps at first - but if you let it brown a bit and then press down on it with the back of a spatula it breaks up like normal
. I have no idea how she managed to cook it for 40 minutes
.)
