It's an easy way to get food poisoning since hamburger is ground up, bacteria that was otherwise on the outside of the meat is now mixed throughout the meat. cooking it medium rare only kills the bacteria on the outside and can potentially leave it on the inside. cooking a streak rare is usually good enough since the meat isn't ground up, the bacteria is only on the outside of the meat.OSH;1390029 wrote:I always get my burgers medium rare too, and for some reason that disgusts people.
I understand that, but the burgers are still cooked at hot enough where the bacteria is killed.dlazz;1391479 wrote:It's an easy way to get food poisoning since hamburger is ground up, bacteria that was otherwise on the outside of the meat is now mixed throughout the meat. cooking it medium rare only kills the bacteria on the outside and can potentially leave it on the inside. cooking a streak rare is usually good enough since the meat isn't ground up, the bacteria is only on the outside of the meat.

IMO, medium well is no pink, and well done is shoe leather.Ironman92;1391549 wrote:Maybe we need to determine the pinkness/redness of each.
To me little pink is medium well....the brighter pink/borderline red is medium.....red is medium rare and rare is bloody lol.....well done is just no pink whatsoever but still has some juice to it.
