I saw a post here a while ago where someone mentioned that they were struggling to break up minced meat now a lot of it comes in a vacuum sealed packs. I’ve just purchased one of these and it works very well.
I open the top of the packet and then cut the mince into cubes with a sharp knife - tip the meat into the bowl or saucepan - and then the meat breaks down easily with a fork or spatula
I got my daughter one of these from Amazon and she loves it. I first saw then on You Tube. It was Acre homestead channel and she uses it a lot so I assume they are American. I think a lot of their mince and sausage meat is quite compressed. She also has what she once called a Dutch whisk, this is my next purchase.
