Do you mean you grew coltures of bacteria from various levels of cooking and compared? Was this work peer reviewed?
- sokoloff 4y agoI do not mean that. (That would be experimental rather than experiential.) Order of magnitude, ~15% of beef consumed is quality steak cuts. US residents on average eats 67 pounds of beef (so 10 pounds of steak) per year. If eating steak cooked less than medium-well was dangerous in a practical/meaningful sense, it would be common knowledge (based on lived experience) that steak should be catastrophically over-cooked as a food safety measure.
