degrees of meat

[stui magpie]

What's your tolerance/preference for different degrees of cooking with different meats?

I'm cooking a lamb rack. took it out, rested and cut it. too undercooked. If it had been beef I would have eaten it but not lamb, so it's back in the oven briefly.

Got me thinking, I like different kinds of meat different ways.

Beef, rare. medium rare at most. Shit, I've eaten it raw (steak tartare)

lamb, medium. I can't do rare lamb. I can do Lamb up to well done, but not rare. Well done beef on the other hand is a punishable crime.

Pork, well done as long as it's still moist.

Chicken, ditto with Pork.

Thoughts?

You really want my thoughts?

Tofu tastes like pencil erasers no matter how you cook it, so No!

I eat steak medium rare leaning on rare.

I can't eat roasts rare, need to be at least medium

Lamb has to be cooked - not rare

My oldest looked after our dog while we were away made some lamb & was too impatient & cooked her lamb rare & got diarrhoea & vomiting: she worked long hours got home, hungry as & cooked her lamb or undercooked it.

I don't eat pork much but love Asian style pork: - cooked

Chicken always has to be cooked

Made tasty tofu burgers last night for tea - delicious. Mrs WPT is vegetarian & I want to be again.

I have been ill and losing water at a great rate for 3 days. After gorging on mangos.Had an IV drip and am on soup and rice and banana for days and warned off grog for the moment. I would kill evry person in this forum (well the trolls) for a drop of sweet beer and a medium rare steak sandwich. I love lamb but it is too expensive here and so is the red it needs to be washed down with.

Depends on the cut of meat for me.
A nice eye fillet is best medium rare, where a piece of rump or a T-bone I'll cook a little longer.
Love those little lamb loin chops well done, how nice is that fatty little tail with a tad of crunch?!
Pork 'n chook have to be well cooked.
Kangaroo tail is best medium in an oven bag.
Bungarra and bush turkey also need to be well cooked.
Crocodile is best, in red meat terms, medium rare.
Camel works best cooked in a slow cooker to bring out the flavour as well as obviously tenderise it.

I cook heaps in my Weber, love that thing.
My BBQ is piped to the mains gas and boy, does that baby do some work! 6 burner, all plate.

What does the Goanna taste like?

Croc to me is like fishy chicken but denser, almost like swordfish.

Agree with the rib eye, it needs to be medium rare, but rump is best rare . T bone is always fun. I try to get the fillet medium rare and the porterhouse rare, depending on how thick

It has a taste and texture somewhere between chicken and turkey... a bit richer, very tasty.

I like mine cooked so well done it is.

Same here, Swoop.

I guess for most 45 degrees of meat would be needed for sex on the kitchen bench.

Of course Stui is tall.

[stui magpie]

The kitchen bench is a perfect height, which is why I never prepare food naked.

Used to be the same. Had sent back plenty of steaks for being undercooked (ie: that still had some pink). But there comes a point when, after going to enough functions that serve steak medium/medium rare, you realise how delicious it really is. I've now sent back steaks for being medium instead of medium rare or rare.
