6.Explain the term “brown” ground beef.
Browning ground beef is an easy process. Place the ground meat in a skillet (preferably a nonstick skillet) and cook over medium-high heat. The most important part to browning ground beef is using a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula to break up the ground beef into equal-size pieces as it cooks. This ensures that all the ground beef pieces cook evenly.  **Fully Cooking Ground Beef** On most stove tops, browning ground beef should take approximately 7 to 10 minutes for 1 pound of meat. It's important to continue stirring and breaking the pieces into the same size with the wooden spoon or heatproof spatula so the ground beef cooks evenly. It's easy to tell when your meat is ready -- it should all be brown with no apparent pinkish pieces.
