    Maybe he wants it to take his temperature. You always need 2 for that(Front and back, if you know what I mean). Never share!

    I won't eat pink ground unless I sous vide it first anymore. Just not worth it. that keeps me from eating most burgers because I hate gray hockey pucks. Still do them at home from time to time but ground beef is scary...even if you grind it yourself IMO. Unless you buy it in the tube, the grocery store grinds their own from the same whole chuck or sirloin that you buy to take home to grind. The stats are dire when it comes to contamination on ground beef in grocery stores and it all starts with the primal/sub primal that they (and in turn you) grind. Better at home for sure but if the outside is contaminated, the inside is contaminated when you grind it. And the outsides are all contaminated if you believe the numbers. It took me a good long while to come around to this but a few days like Travis had will open your eyes for sure.


    That's a great point Cen-Tex.  I have been wondering if it is really safer to grind at home.  As you said, the problem is there may be contaminants on the outside of the meat.  If you are cooking a whole piece of meat you will cook off the baddies.  Anytime you grind, the outside gets mixed with the inside and you are mixing the baddies in the meat.  I think for me I'm just off of pink burgers no matter who grinds the meat. 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Perfect quote for here:

    Whiners are getting on my nerves because of one idiots taking some communication public.

    Wait! What would it take to make our whiner-in-chief happy? Is he looking for a freebie?
