Use a Meat Thermometer to Judge When Meat is Properly Cooked

Using a Meat Thermometer is really a life-saver. You insert the Meat Thermometer into a fleshy part of the meat, for instance the bulk of the breast of the chicken or turkey, and leave it there long enough to see the needle on the thermometer come to rest on the current temperature.
This way, rather than slicing your steak in half, you leave the juices inside of the meat where they belong until you’re sitting at the dinner table.

Tips for Cooking Any Steak

To test for doneness, press the meat with your finger. Rare meat will be soft and wobbly, medium will have a springy firmness and well done will feel very firm and unyielding. A steak will cook a little after you remove it from the grill or oven, so stop broiling when the steak tests slightly less done than desired.
