    Work story:
    My employer sells motor trade insurance to a lot of little car wash places

    Usually it's not very expensive, these are places that are usually a few people picking up work from taxi firms or used car dealerships

    So today we got a claim for the damage caused when someone working for them reversed a brand new, £155,000 car into another brand new, £255,000 car, both of which belonged to the same dealership and had been entrusted to this car wash place for pre-delivery valet

    At least he'll have a decent "what I got fired for" story

    "Well-done" should always just mean "medium but I left it on for a few more seconds"

    If there is no red colour left in the steak at all, you have ruined it

    You can't just toss a steak onto a grill at the same temperature you'd cook a medium steak and cook it well.

    You can definitely cook a well done steak and not have it be a charcoal, or leather, too.

    It's not something a chef that wants to get food out quickly in a restaurant wants to do though.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    I talked to a few German engineers about the burger/steak cooking situation. One was v salty about it and says he only buys steaks and ground beef to cook at home where they won't be ruined. Another recounted a trip to the U.S. where he tried to order a steak well done and the chef came out and told him that he could not in good conscience ruin a $40 steak that way and would be cooking it medium. The engineer was too stunned to argue and only ate around the edges because it got "too pink" towards the center.

    Chefs that can't cook a well done steak well don't deserve the jacket. Forget souffles, "no pink and not dry" needs to be the new metric.

    ewww

    well done steak

    A generation of chefs who think "to cook this steak well done I'll just put it on the same grill at the same temperature I put a steak going to medium on but for much longer."

    I am certain you are right that a steak can be cooked well done without totally ruining it and it probably requires more skill. However, no matter how expertly cooked, it's never going to be as delicious as a properly cooked rare steak.

    To you, sure. I don't like the texture or the flavor of the middle of a rare steak.

    Ground beef on the other hand I don't want pink in it especially when eating out

    that shit is toxic

    For me it's a level of trust with the restaurant. Baseline is medium. If they take a cooking suggestion, medium is the default for burgers. If the place is nice and I've eaten there before, I'll go medium rare. If it's an institution and I know for a fact they're grinding up the beef fresh back there, I'll go rare. When you can go rare, it's transcendent. Like tartare and cheese and char flavor had a baby.

    that shit is toxic

    Potentially, ground beef is worse for you than rare chicken.

    Assuming it isn't ground from fresh beef right in front of you.

    Even then, you're mixing the surface bacteria on the steak within the rest of the meat.

    Which is why you still sear a steak when you get it rare, to kill that surface bacteria.

    I will let you get away with a medium well, but anything else is asking for a night of the shits.

    No ones denying that burgers are tasty delicious but proclaiming another beef product is inedible just because burgers are delicious is pretty fuckin stupid as fuk IMO.

    Then you get into the arguments that cooking a steak low and slow ruins the steak too, arguing with foodies is frustrating in general.

    It's like having a vegan at your table that agreed to go to the steakhouse and then complains non stop.

    Oh you're having soda with your steak? For shame.

    Those are the kind of people I will order a well done steak and slop ketchup on it in front of out of spite.

    My experience with burgers near me is they'll always under cook it one step

    well done means barely cooked for some of them. Medium Rare is fucking purple
