The passenger version is still hurting. 20 from LH, 5 from KE and 8 VIP's are a pretty thin order book.

I may just need to mail order it and save on the tax. Or, head up to Micro Center and pay 3.5% tax. Just need the time to work on the project.

Heh, if I could put a lay-z-boy in one of those containers with a composting toilet, I'd roll. :D

Oh, dear!:eek:

I got that tidbit from an executive chef at Morton's. His take on it was that a cut of beef will not cease the internal cooking process just because it has been removed from the broiler/oven/etc. Easiest way to prevent a steak from cooking more than you want it to is to plate it and drive a knife through it to introduce the comparatively cold ambient air.

Hmm, interesting. My approach has always been to stop cooking earlier to account for the small amount of cooking that occurs after the meat was removed from the heat source, but not to cut it until ready to serve so that the heat-induced chemical reactions would slow down and it would retain more juiciness. But I'm not going to argue with a chef from Morton's, heh.

Resting is important for juices to be reabsorbed. It should also be noted that meats will cook an additional 5 or 10 degrees. So always pull your meat 5 to 10 degrees under the temp you want.

I should clarify and say that the executive chef in question wants the customer to cut the meat upon receiving it, preferably in half. He has done his part by pulling it early and accounting for the time it sits between plating and table delivery.

I'm in the Mackieman camp as far as cooking meat. Everything needs to rest, turkey, pork, beef. Every chef(the real ones) on FoodTV rest meat.

How thick?

I didn't measure it before I put it in the marinade. I would say a half inch or so; whatever supermarket butchers normally cut flank to.
