I used to overcook chicken and fish, but after a while you know how it should be. The slightest pink is not bad at all I've had that on my chicken breast many times. In some restaraunts they will also do salmon medium as well as standard

Re: Food Porn: Steak and Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are the ideal side dish to pork steak, and it’s certainly better than rice. Technically, potatoes carry more nutrients than rice. They're very rich in carbohydrates. I always prefer to eat a steak with mashed potatoes. =)

If judged as a whole meals, and not simply as a resource of medical insurance fitness trans fat, the positive info of egg to eating plan plans becomes apparent and far exceeds the beliefs about medical insurance fitness trans fat from egg.

Re: Eating Healthy Is Making America Fat

America is fat because we enjoy over processed, dead food that is calorie dense. Yes, enjoy food like fresh organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains. You can make these foods become wonderful gourmet dish.

This is not what most of us do, most Americans binge diet on space food that has no nutrient value. We were not designed to digest prepackaged foods. The government loves that we are obsessed with diets and follow deadly trends. The lobbyist live for it. These things are what puts money in the governments pockets.

I understand where you are coming from we need healthy fats and natural sugars instead most go for foods that are labeled fat free are artificially sweetened. These things cause cancer.

For god's sake most americans are afraid to eat a banana for the fear that it has to much sugar but they don't think twice to reach in the fridge for a lean cuisine(WTF is even in those things)?

When is America going to wake up and Take control of their own health. Then we want have to worry so much about what kind of health care the government gives us.

I actually prefer the taste of overcooked chicken, I can't stand 'juicy' chicken, it just tastes wrong, nice and dry is how it should be.

Also what the heck does keeping things clean solve? The bateria lives inside the chicken and its blood. Inproperly cooking it will still grant you toilet time. No matter how clean you prep it. Samonila can kill you by the way, also the reason for samonila is because of our industrial processed chicken, the they eat it raw bit in other countries, is a bit niave, this assumes all chicken are the same breed and are prepared similarily or are in a similar environment.

I personally think the article is niave and potentially a general health risk.

My toilet disagrees with this article, I ate an ultra barely pink chicken so slightly pink you'd have to look at it thrice. Go with temp doneness not color doneness. Last time I take the first opinion I see.

The blogosphere has plastered Lee's list of demands with their Malthusian, Darwinian and anti-religion themes all over the internet. No need to enlarge on that here.

Since the prevailing culture in the media is secularism, perhaps they didn't wish to defame Darwinism. Darwinism is the origins myth of secularism.

Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-Tung were both profoundly influenced by Darwin. It has been reported that whenever Maoists seized a part of China they first taught Darwinian evolution as the philosophical backdrop for the doctrines of communism. They had to first deceive the people into thinking that humans are soulless descendants of apes and then build communist anti-religious ideals on top.

Containing eight essential amino acids, recent studies have suggested barley grass can regulate blood sugar for up to 10 hours after ingestion. There's also some evidence pointing to the conclusion that barley grass can help minimize LDL, (bad) cholesterol in certain people.

Thanks! I'm still learning to cook..correctly. Tonight I beat a chicken breast to about a half an inch, add some salt and pepper, added some flour and placed it in the pan and cooked it for about 4 1/2 minutes each side. (Gotta love Youtube) It was juicy and seriously the tastiest piece of chicken I've eaten. And I made it! lol

I was a bit worried that the chicken was undercooked. It was white but when cut into there was a lot of juice coming out. (Not used to that) I thought, damn, must be undercooked but it looked fine. I actually read this blog before taking a bite. (still learning here) It's the next day, I'm alive and kicking. Thanks for the post.

Chicken meat needs to fall of the bone period. None of the grocery stores rotisserie chickens seem to comply because they check with a thermometer instead of with a fork like grandma (and all generations prior) use to do. We have our weekly struggle with a chicken that hangs on to its meat for dear life...

Ah, yes. You are totally right. Everyone has the right to enjoy what they eat. We just need balance in everything. We should also have variety. Do not eat the same food almost every day. Then, add exercise, yoga, and other physical activities to stimulate blood circulation.

I completly disagree.

Just like most Foodies, My fiance undercooks everything because she thinks just like you do.

Well guess what, I love food, but I'm not a foodie and I wont follow you over the cliff...

Food is Fuel first.

flavor Second.

and following trendoid foodie thoughts and suggestions are not even on the list.

Why do I like my chicken Dry? no red/pink whatsover, why? because then I don't have to sit here, like I'm sitting here now it's been cooked for flavor,
Wondering if what I just ate is going to at worst poison me or at lower end of the spectrum mush up the intestinal works and ruin the rest of my day.

what bugs me is that it actually taste better when fully cooked than it ever does Semi Raw/Semi cooked, or what evert it is you mean by "cooked for flavor".

Also, the reality is that I go to a restaurant and ask for Chicken, and it's always served fully cooked (no pinks or reds) and it's always tasty and Juicy. All this talk of Juicyness and whatever is all B.S. from neophites that don't understand most of what they are reading. so if your Breast are not coming out fully cooked (White) and juicy then you are doing something wrong and you need to figure it out what, before you go out there and Poison someone.

that is all foody goons...

I completely agree.. If you cook a Chicken Breast to the point the center is 160 Degrees it will be DRY AS A ROCK... I cannot STAND dry chicken... I cook mine for just a few minutes till the Juices flow CLEAR and the meat is obviously DONE and not RAW. I tested a piece of my "DONE and DELICIOUS" chicken one time with a cooking thermometer and the center was only about 120 but it was DONE as DONE can get.

If you want to ruin your delicious meat, then go ahead and listen to the fools who say to cook the $&^% out of it but I'll take my meat Juicy and Cooked correctly for flavor.

Great Post by the way!
