Meat Binder (Doner, Qofte, Burger, Gyro)

What it's for

Meat binder is added to the mix for doner, qofte, burgers and gyro and holds the meat together. That way the skewer and shaped pieces keep their shape, doner slices come out neater and cooking losses are smaller.

Who uses it

Restaurants that prepare their own doner or gyro skewers, and butcher shops that make qofte and burgers for sale.

What to keep in mind

Meat binders on the market are usually blends and may contain phosphates, soy or milk protein, starch or carrageenan. The composition differs from one binder to another, so read it before use:

• if it contains soy, milk or gluten, these allergens must also be emphasized on your label;
• if it contains phosphates, check that they're allowed for the product you make under current legislation.

For the amount per kg of meat, follow the manufacturer's instructions. For gyro and souvlaki we also have bamboo skewers, and for slicing gyro the 40 cm ICEL knife.
