Remaining time: 4 days 19 hours
Everytime I go online looking for like meat recipies or stuff like that everyone always mentions a meat thermometer? Which like i guess is nice to have but I was taught to cook by my Black southern grandma from who's from the country and I dont think I've ever seen her use one before. She (and I) use just experience or cutting into the inside/poking the meat to check for doneness.
#yes and everywhere! Because I have a pathological fear of getting sick from eating undercooked food#it's like half OCD and half the fact that I was regularly fed undercooked meat as a kid so it became an Always Thing#I don't do it when cooking steak but it's because I can tell steak doneness by touch
