Surface Cooking
Stainless Steel Range
* When turning the meat over, always use
a spatula as it will not puncture the meat
allowing the juices to lun out. This will help
to kee I) the meat juicy. Turn the meat only
once, as juices are lost when the meat is
repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat
after it has been cooked.
" Be sure to trim any excess tht fl'om meat
or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops fl'om
cm'ling while they are being cooked, slit the
fht at(rand the edges at about 2" inter_als.
To test for doneness, make a small cut in the
center of the meat.
The doneness of meat is affected by the
thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook
a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness.
A steak should be at least l" thick to have it
turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time
is affected by the temperature of the meat
when wm start to cook it, the size and shape
of the cut and the kind of meat you are
cooking. The degree of aloneness desired
also affects the time.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture sa}:s,
"Rare beef is popular, but you should know
that cooking it to only 140°F means some
food poisoning oiganisms may survive."
