| So you do like your hamburgers cooked?
I like mine well done. Anything else just seems unhealthy to me. But to each his own (or her own) I guess. | ||||||

| Medium (not red - not burnt) | ||||||

| Ok since there is still only one vote I took out uncooked and added medium well in addition to medium rare. :)
EDIT - Also added VEGAN as an option. (spelling ok???) | ||||||

| If I'm making them from fresh meat - medium rare. Otherwise, well done, particularly at group picnics; I prefer to avoid unfriendly gut critters. | ||||||

| I cook them to medium doneness at home, since I buy from a butcher who grinds meat on the premesis. At restaurants, I prefer well-done. One can hardly get them any other way now because of food safety concerns. Recently, I went to s better restaurant where they would cook them medium or rare, if the customer signed a waiver. | ||||||

| Medium Well.
Cook it dammit, but DON'T burn it! So many people just can't seem to understand that Medium Well DOES NOT MEAN BURNT... If we weren't supposed to eat animals, they wouldn't be so delicious. But far more importantly, if we weren't supposed to eat animals, we wouldn't have all of these sharp little pointy teeth at the front of our mouths that are designed specifically for ripping and tearing MEAT before moving it to the back of the mouth to be smashed up for by the big round teeth. | ||||||

I draw the line at eating other humans. That would be risky, health-wise, for a number of reasons. :P | ||||||

So I went into a Carl's Jr expecting some kind of deal on their Paris Hilton "Six Dollar Burger" campaign but the simple meal with small beverage and small frys cost me over $7 plus tax. Did I miss something? PS: For those outside CA, the ad campaign implied other restarunts sell a 1/3 lb. burger for $6 but they have a better deal. I've never gone back. | ||||||

| Ground beef (burgers) = well done
Steaks = dark/medium pink | ||||||
| Donny661 posted 2008 Jun 30 00:38 | ||||||
| Medium, a little pink in the center is how I understand the term. When people ask for "medium well", I assume they really want it "well done" as in "no pink but not burnt"; some people just ask for the world on a silver platter :roll: . | ||||||
| disturbed1 posted 2008 Jun 30 02:00 | ||||||
| As long as it's pink in the middle, I'll eat it :D If it's brown or red, I leave it alone.
Beef only has to reach 160F to kill the bacteria. | ||||||

| I prefer mine still bleeding. If the hamburger mix is right, and I'm in the mood, I'll enjoy a little raw. Otherwise warm, pink throughout and dripping does for me - no cremations thanks. | ||||||

| A little pink in the middle is OK, but I prefer med. well (no pink). | ||||||

Used to eat this in my young army days in Germany .. along with lots of beer.

| Medium Well and Well Done are "winning"?! What's wrong with you/those people? Don't you want to taste the meat?
But, yeah, hard to find a place that doesn't downright burn them :( | ||||||

| If it's hamburger, god only knows what that beef started out as: medium well to well solves that problem for me! Now for steak/prime rib it's a totally different story. | ||||||

| I prefer my burgers and steaks rare to medium. When being cooked at home I will save some for me to eat raw. I was in a restaurant one time and was told I could only get my steak well done because of some new law. I told her when the law starts paying my bill they can tell me how to eat my steaks. I then got up and my wife and I walked out. I think it was a policy of the restaurant and not a law because I went to another restaurant and got my steak cooked rare. | ||||||

| Food safety comes down to physics and common sense.
If Salmonella or other contamination is present, it will be on the surface of a steak and will be killed even if cooked med-rare. If the contamination is ground into hamburger, it will take higher internal temperature to kill all the bacteria. Bottom line, if you like rare to medium rare, get a steak not a hamburger. | ||||||

I also prefer well done. No ecoli or salmonella for me either. | ||||||

| Dunno. I haven't had one in about 25 years. It's not any Vegan kinda deal, either;
I just don't do chopped meat. A long time ago, your hamburger might have come from 2 or 3 cows. Today, it could easily be from 50 or 60 different animals. There may only have been a handful of cases of Mad Cow disease (all outside the U.S. ?), but there are other health issues, and this is too much a roll of bad dice for me -- even if I had a much greater yen for red meat than I do. The young dolts those Carl's Jr. humongous bacon cheeseburgers are pitched to will have well-clogged arteries by the time they're 35. |
