It is physically painful for a chef to cook meat well done. If you are in a quiet restaurant, and you oreder a well done steak and listen very carefully, you can almost hear the groans from the kitchen.

>>5444662
Well done meat is inferior. Ask literally any professional chef. Overcooking kills the flavour, and ruins the texture. If you like well done steak, you might as well just order chicken, since you obviously just dont like the taste of beef.

That's objectively incorrect way to cook it. It's cooked rare as default.

>not eating blue rare

enjoy not having a velvety interior

>>5444682
Well, thats completely untrue. Which you'd know if you weren't a summerfag. /ck/ is chock full of women, people in relationship, and oldfags.

>reading comprehension

the question they asked was why people in a cooking competition are incapable of cooking a steak long enough to meet the requirements of the challenge (which is usually one steak rare, one medium rare, one well done) not what tastes better

This is some show condoning and encouraging well done meat? The fuck? Sounds like some shit I'll never watch.

>>5446534
Not really. It's a pressure test where they have to make three steaks, all at different temperatures, within the allotted time. Most of the time it's one steak rare, one medium rare, one well done.

They point out every time that 'even professional chefs' have a difficult time making a proper well done steak, and that most people eat their steaks medium-rare or medium at most. And the few times they have steak in the elimination challenges, they remark if it's too overcooked (aka usually anything above medium).

I was in Italy recently and ordered a med-rare steak at a restaurant. I got something that was blue-rare, actually raw and barely warmed in the middle.
I'm not eating steak any other way from now on.

They're a.) afraid of overcooking it even more and b.) inexperienced ruining meat

>>5444675
American and disgusting has nothing to do with it. Nice meals deserve a table. not everyone makes nice meals all the time. hell, some kitchens have a TV. and many people live alone or with the roommates who don't really elect to sit and eat.

"Why can't the chefs meet the requirements of this challenge" is a good question, but "Why is this retarded-ass challenge demanding that chefs ruin good meat" is an even better question.

>good meat

oh my son. they were only wal-mart steaks.

>>5444675

I find it hard to watch anything without something to occupy my mouth.

>>5444669

>>5444675
Why are you fucks so obsessed about America?

Anyway table manners is complete bullshit; just be considerate of other people.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter is the one guy who can convince you to consume human meat, at least as an occasional delicacy. Ever had to deal with rude neighbors or coworkers? Now you won't have to anymore.

The food stylist for the show runs a blog here: http://janicepoonart.blogspot.ca/
She blogs about the meal prep for almost every episode.

>how hard is it to at least cook the steak until pink is gone?

Unless the steak is starting to go bad, why would anyone cook it until the pink is gone?

>>5447365
Is that a block of liver he cuts with the cheese wire?

>>5449084
It's clay, dingus.

>>5448447
