ITT: things boomers actually believe

Since it's Thanksgiving and most of us are probably seeing older relatives who like to backseat-cook as they walk through the kitchen to grab another beer, let's post boomer cooking "tips."

>You gotta let your steak sit out on the counter and come to room temperature before cooking
>Only flip your steak once! Don't play around with it!
>To give it more flavor, baste it with some beer *pours his Bud Light over a marinated steak*
>Rare steaks have parasites in them. I only eat medium or hotter.

>> No.17042354

>>17042345
honestly all of those are valid, although i'd used something besides bud to pour

>> No.17042365

>>17042345
First two are 100% true. The last is true only for pork and poultry.

op better sit at the kids table for dinner

The only really valid thing is letting meat come to room temp, the beer is ok I guess but lager isn't gonna do much. Flipping meat any number of times doesn't hurt it at all and helps produce a consistent crust. Nobody's gotten a parasite from farmed meat in developed countries in over 70 years, regulated animal feed prevents it.

First two are absolutely not true. I hate to cite him, but James Alt has run tests on both and DEBOONKED them.

Letting your steak "come to room temperature" is a complete myth. Any food science professional would laugh at you.

You should be grateful they’re even willing to spend time with your whiny autistic ass who takes time out to go cry on 4chan when entertaining family.

?? it's total common sense. do you want a core as cold as the fridge for your blue steak? if you're an American and eat charcoal then it is a myth sure but that's not the intention of the advice.

The core temperature of a steak on the counter will rise from 38F to 45F (3C to 7C) over 1 hour. The amount of time it would take for the core to reach room temperature would result in the outer becoming spoilt.

They have left already. We hold Thanksgiving dinner at 11AM like civilized people.

>> No.17042609

>>17042595
no one is saying bring it all the way to room temperature all the way through moron. but if you go fridge to pan and do a 2 minute sear on each side the internals of the steak are noticeably and unpleasantly cold.

>meat spoils in the time a steak reaches ambient temp throughout
Maybe if you live in a dirt hut with literal piles of animal shit on the floor, and a shitbucket for yourself next to your prep surface, and wild monkeys running in and shitting on your counter, and you use the monkey shit to marinate your steak.

Otherwise you should be fine.

>have an anova precision oven
>meat temp means nothing to me because I have a fucking probe measuring the internal temp
>only flip steak to sear it after it's cooked and rested on my outdoor wok burner that gets hotter than anything most of you own
>don't pour beer onto a fucking steak
>can eat any meat without parasites at 130°F and above because I can hold temp for hours until everything it safe

1PM is objectively the correct time to hold Thanksgiving dinner. If you sit down at 11AM you don't have enough time to enjoy appetizers and cocktails.

You don't have to leave the steak on the counter, but you should certainly remove it from any packaging at least an hour before you plan to cook it. Leaving it on the counter to come to room temperature accomplishes this.
