Creating meatballs involves combining ground meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings, then forming the mixture into balls and cooking them. The process can be enjoyable and rewarding, with the most satisfying aspect often being the act of shaping the meatballs.
Rolling the meat mixture into uniform balls requires a combination of dexterity and a gentle touch. As the hands work the ingredients together, the mixture transforms from a loose assembly of components into cohesive spheres. This tactile experience connects the cook with the food they are preparing and provides a sense of accomplishment.
