How do I cook thick pieces

Post by mamamami »

How do I cook thick pieces of meat without burning the outside? Whenever I try to cook a thick chicken breast or sausage, I end up burning the outside and not cooking the inside through. What am I doing wrong?

If, you are frying or char-broiling - you can't, the searing of the outside "seals in" the flavor/juices, on the inside :idea:
If you are baking, use the lowest reccomended temerture and a thermometer and bake to the proper temp, for the "doneness" rare/medium/well that is reccomended.
The outside will still be "done-er" :wink:

Yummers. Those tongues are a fav among Newfies. Unfortunately, the cod fishery has been greatly depleted. Still, the occasional tongue does show up here and there. These do not require searing, so Mr. mamamamamaroni need not worry...

So Mr. Natch you have 'hoser' genes. I know Canucks who don't know about cod tongues. I'm impressed. BTW the cod is on its way back I understand. Just have to keep those f-ing Portuguese and Spanish off the Grand Banks. Poaching bunch of a-holes.

I pray we can agree on this matter. I am a huge fan of cod and we need to keep these a-holes out of those waters.
I must admit I have not done the tongue thing but I could eat seafood morning,noon and night.
Trying this would be a real treat for me.
Being from the midwest we don't get a lot of fresh sea food,mostly frozen.
It is hard(impossible) to find "real" fish'n'chips so I depend on my friends in England to help me with recipes.
One tells me of a little village in North-Eastern England that on one particular avenue corner they sell the worlds best Fish'n'Chips wrapped in a cone-shaped newspaper.
You can eat while kicking the gravel she says. 8)

Funny thing- My friend in Hattingen Germany says Mexican food is very popular there.
I just have a hard time picturing German folk eating enchiladas and tacos :lol:

Some German mustards, can be VERY intense :idea:
One time I took some Tabasco peppers to work and shared them, with some of the "Krauts", they loved them :D But me and them were the ONLY ones to eat several :wink: and we kept it up until they were gone :)
[no static about "Krauts" I am part Kraut myself] :wink:
