    My Belgian friend Alain ( he lives here in Bristol ), when asked how he likes his beef always says "show it the pan" :blood:


    Yeah, we say that too: Das Steak hat die Pfanne nur von Weitem gesehen. That steak has seen the pan only from afar.

    For the records: I like my stake medium rare.

    Same as you, Timmer. It needs to be at least pinkish in the middle! lick A certain somebody whom I may or may not know whom may or may not hang around on this forum from time to time likes it burnt to smoulders with only carbon left.


    There must be a word for it? 'I'll have it Han-Solo' or some such? Carbonited? Sheesh! spin


    That would actually be frozen.
    You're probably thinking about having it Greedo'd.

    I know! ( and I knew you'd chime in on this wink ) It certainly freezes my soul to think of anyone having a fine steak carbonised.

    The red isn't actually blood; it's a protein called myoglobin mixed with water! tongue

    But it is of course structurally related to blood-borne hemoglobin.

    Hmm. Perhaps.

    Anyway, it's the first time I'm surrounded by so many bien cuit lovers! Very rare. So perhaps that's why. We might, under friends, exaggerate when we use shoe sole meat.

    I make no sense, do I?

    I unfortunately always overdo fish. Because when it's probably perfect I'm always afraid it's still a bit raw so I cook it a little more... The same with chicken by the way!
  3. Well chicken has to be thoroughly cooked for hygienic reasons.

    Fish I prefer well done, too. I know some like a "glassy" core in their cod. I don't.

    With poultry and fish it's better to be safe than to be sorry.

    Hmmmm....overcooked (and crumbling) fish and bone-dry chicken really aren't favourites of mine.

    I find it's tricky with fish: it generally cooks so fast that you just have to develop some kind of feel for it, I guess.
    So: practice! smile

    With chicken it's quite easy: I usually slightly undercook it, and then leave it for another 5-8 minutes off the fire to allow the residual heat of the meat to cook the inside through. That way you get the meat both white AND still succulent.

    I'm generally not too concerned about health issues: generally salmonella (in The Netherlands) is a thing of the past for poultry. The worst thing that can happen when undercooking it is a little tummy upset (nothing that isn't usually fixed by a normal trip to the bathroom wink ).
    It's different for very young children though, and I tend to be a LOT more thorough and careful when cooking with little children participating.

    Good one! I would leave for 20 minutes or more.

    I also sometimes like my chicken very well done so that the meat slips off the bones.

    Did you ever try the Beer Can Chicken recipe?

    Ah yes! I should have specified I meant chicken fillet!
    For drumsticks or whole/half chickens it should be longer!

    shocked
    I forgot about that!
    That's a proper outdoor summery recipe!
    I'll get that on end of this week or so!

    You've reminded me that I haven't cooked one of my favourites for a long time, Chicken in breadcrumbs ala Weiner Schnitzel style.

    Put bread ( preferably on the stale side ) in a blender, I find a mixture of white and wholemeal is good but this is just a personal preference, you can really muck about with this, adding herbs, pepper, paprika, chillis....whatever takes your fancy...

    Flatten the chicken breasts ( covered by grease-proof paper ) with a solid bread board or something heavy-ish and flat.

    Dust chicken with plain flour, dip this into whisked egg mix ( 1 or 2 eggs should do ) until completely covered and then dip this into your breadcrumb mix.

    Fry on a medium heat on both sides for about 3 minutes each side until breadcrumbs are golden brown.

    Done! eat

    p.s. If I have any mushrooms I'll chop those into large chunks and do them the same as the chicken to use up any left-over ingrediants.

    Serve up with baby potatoes and garnished salad in whatever way you enjoy it.

    Wiener Schnitzel

    An Austrian dish, well an Italian actually: Costoletta a la milanese
    Well, in Wien they claim their variety is somehow different.

    But it's lecker anyway!
