Some recipes are quite magical (1 Viewer)

I have two recipes in mind. One is a chili recipe, where you crumble ground beef and ground sausage. The recipe helpfully lets you know that the internal temp should be 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Is it just me or is it rather hard to measure the temperature of the inside of a crumbled bit of meat? There was also the recipe I read where you wrap rice in banana leaves and boil them for x minutes or "until the rice is cooked". But you also aren't supposed to unwrap the banana leaves until after its done and it's been cooled. Are you supposed to use xray vision to see how cooked the rice is? Am I being dumb or are these actually odd things to add to recipes?

the rice in wrap banana leaves you usually cut a little bit to see if its cooked. In general its a fancy way to cook rice but doesn't change much in the end lmao

It majorly failed anyways tbh but I do think it was a noticeably different taste than the og

Not when boiled, it becomes a different shade of green but that has nothing to do with how cooked the rice inside is. And yeah for ground meat you can visually tell, but I still find it funny that they bothered to add the internal temperature bit

Does stabbing meat reveal temperature?

No but if its not bleeding thats a good sign

Ground meat bleeds?

Yeah, this is about ground meat specifically I haven't seen ground meat bleed after being stabbed and I've stabbed many a ground meat, but have a sneaking suspicion that completely raw ground meat isn't safe. And also this is about their choice to include a temperature for ground meat, I know you can tell when it's safe through other methods

I’ve never used temperature to check meats in general unless it was at my old job

I always do for chicken, and sometimes others when its in slabs. Neither severely overcooking meat nor food poisoning sound great to me and I don't trust myself to be able to tell with other methods

I just stab the chicken and it hasn’t killed me yet

Food poisoning isn't that deadly anyway Just unpleasant I'm pretty sure
