What is breadcrumbs used for in cooking?
Breadcrumbs are an amazingly versatile ingredient. They can thicken sauces, bind together meatballs or croquettes, and they can serve as a crunchy coating or topping, just to name a few uses. Fresh breadcrumbs make an excellent binder, which is why they so often show up in meatloaf and stuffing recipes.
To make fresh breadcrumbs with a grater: Cut a large slice of unsliced bread that is comfortable to hold by hand, or pick out a slice of bread from a sliced loaf and cut off the crusts. Hold the sliced end against the grater. Choose a side with wider teeth holes. Grate the bread.
Fresh Bread Crumbs are made by breaking up fresh or stale bread into very small morsels. They are used for stuffings, fillers, sauces, and for buttered bread crumb toppings.
Can you make breadcrumbs out of crackers?
Of course, the easiest homemade breadcrumbs aren’t actually made from bread. They’re made from crackers or potato chips. Keep a box of Saltine crackers in the pantry, and you’ll never be without breadcrumbs. Saltines are already crisp and crumbly.
Use a food processor or blender to crumb the bread evenly. Crumbs should not be like sand. Leave some texture-don’t overprocess. Melt butter in a large pan and add crumbs and salt and pepper. Stir until evenly coated. Continue stirring over medium heat until the crumbs sound like sand when they hit the bottom of the pan.
