If I fry some extra lean mince and drain off a small amount of fat, then I fry some normal mince and drain off a lot more fat, does the resulting mince have a similar fat content?

Are you mixing the two lots of mince together in a bucket afterwards?

Unlikely I reckon - there'll still be plenty of extra fat in the fattier mince - only a proportion of it will come out when frying.

I was just wondering if paying a lot more for extra lean mince is a false economy. once you have drained the fats off the mince, I just wondered if each mince contained a similar amount of fat.

Draining the excess fat is probably only getting rid of half the extra fat in normal mince

Lean mince is generally from a better cut of meat so will contain less grislte and fat in general so should taste better too.

I saw this thing once where some health freak washed his mince to remove fat. Cant remember the details tho, I reckon if your that bothered then eat less mince.
