Can the Aluminum Foil

[macdon02]

I thought grilled would be better.... till I tried pan seared. Try it once. Depends on thickness for time but used a thermometer first time. All sorts of directions on Google. Not sure I'd grill again if I have the option.

Wouldn't a steak be better grilled than pan fried?

A funny story....our bachelor neighbor had a steak out for supper and his mother thought she'd do him a "favor" and have it cooked and ready for him when he got home from the field. His rendition of the story had her pan frying it so hard it curled and lifted the lid on the frying pan.... He tended to embellish his stories a bit but I do understand his mother(God rest her soul) was probably from an era that never knew how to properly cook a steak(RIP...lol...and a moment's silence for the murdered steak).

You could be talking about my mother. She was a Home Economics graduate from UC Davis, when that was still a thing. I never knew that a steak or a roast could be so good until I went out to work, mother still has one way of cooking a steak Well, Well Done. Eggs also weren't her forte, but boy can she cook anything else. I don't think my dad who just passed away in May at 84 knew there was such a thing as a medium rare steak until he was 60 LOL. That being said my wife is in England for 2 weeks so guess where I am going for lunch.

I’m not too fond of pink steak. I like green eggs and ham better. L0L No seriously, one of my favourite food memories is of a fresh unfrozen prime rib grilled on a hot-hot barbecue with baked potatoe, but no one has offered me one off the cast iron skillet - yet.

We like cast iron too, at home on the bbq or campfire. I always think the same thing that the iron is good for you but for some reason the "health food" stores and crowd advise against using cart iron, not really sure why. Maybe it's the butter, meat and spices that wind up in them that's the problem for them.

Aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer's, teflon is bad for you too, all the nonstick stuff sure is nice to clean but health risks are there too especially when it starts flaking off into your food.

My steak needs to be well done and it can be and still be tender but it's a fine line for sure. Any one that likes to eat rare meat needs to follow the entire process from hoof to plate, I always am amazed how few meat related health issues there are. Especially in the states where it's common to eat pink ground beef, lots of burgers ordered that way.

Push in australia to ban plastic straws for health reasons and litter.

Understand the logic for adults not using them but not sure how it would go with toddlers etc.

Swing here to away from cans/aliminium as well

Same here, plastic straws are hated but haven’t heard about cans. Lentil beer is gaining ground here. First noticed the beer advertised at Vegas casinos.

AGT got both provincial and federal funding so they through Rebellion Brewing Company are producing Lentil Cream Ale. The program that threw money their way is called SLIM.

I bought a pint at U of S Louie’s about 3 years ago....even though I am a cheerleader for lentils and as much as I love lentil soup and what lentils have done for Saskatchewan economy and my own personal economy....I have to be honest....that lentil beer was one of the worst tasting ale I have ever had. I even thought it’s so bad that it might hurt the lentil industry.

It reminded me of the first time I ate a veggie burger....thought it was awesome until I discovered I was starving and the second one tasted like crap.

Maybe others might disagree. It’s my opinion.

GDR, I don't mind a medium rare steak at all. And I would have to agree with your premise that the closer to well done you want it the finer the line gets in an effort to keeping it tender. I believe over cooking them simply dehydrates and renders all the juices out of them....thats probably why a well marbled steak is harder to screw up. How do you get a thick cut steak well done? There's probably a time, not that long ago, that our fathers would have given our mothers heck if they "under cooked" the meat. Now eating rare steaks and pink prime rib roasts is common.

Rare and thick for me with occasional bellow
