- Pasta sauces
- Stir-fries
- Burgers
When cooking with pork mince, it's important to brown it thoroughly in a pan over medium-high heat. Breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks helps create individual pieces. Drain off any excess fat if desired, though the 20% fat content is intended to contribute to the final dish's richness. It can then be incorporated into sauces, used as a filling, or formed into patties.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to leaner pork mince, this 20% fat version offers a richer taste and more tender texture. The higher fat content helps prevent the mince from drying out during cooking, resulting in a more succulent final product. This makes it ideal for recipes where moisture and flavor are key.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any unused pork mince in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be used within two days or frozen for longer storage. Ensure it is kept chilled to maintain freshness and safety.
