Introduction
I wonder what would happen if we ate raw meat like a caveman.
After I have searched, there are many raw meat dishes around the world, for
example, Steak tar tare, Carpaccio, etc. Thailand also has Esan raw meat dish,
"Koi". Although there have some cultures that eating raw meat, it
doesn't mean that eating raw meat is safe. So, let's find out what happens
after the meat is cooked.
Method
1. Bringing
the raw meat (beef), then divided to three.
2. Taking
photos (Before cooked)
3. Cooking the
meat into 3 levels including rare, medium and well-done.
4. Recording
like number 2. (After cooked)
5. Discussing and
Concluding
Discussion
The reasons why beef steak has rare
cooked are about parasites and bacteria. First, beef doesn’t carry many
parasites which can infect us, so beef is safer to eat than other meats.
Second, beef is extremely dense, and bacteria can’t penetrate and infect the
meat. Bacteria can still be on the surface. So, if the surface of the meat is
cooked, then the beef is safe to eat.
There is only beef steaks that has
cooking levels. Chicken and pork aren’t extremely dense like beef. So, bacteria
and parasites can infect them. The cooking levels of chicken and pork steak should
be well-done level so they are safe to eat.
Bacteria that
are associated with beef are Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus
aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. All these bacteria are the cause
of diarrhea. They can be destroyed through cooking. Safe cooking of beef steak
has to use minimum temperature as 145 °F (62.8 °C) with at least 3 minutes
cooked per side in 2cm of beef’s thickness.
I cooked the
rare steak for 2 minutes per side but I use 120 °C temperature. The temperature
is about doubled of the safe cooking, the bacteria would be destroyed.
Conclude
We can’t eat
raw meat because the parasites and bacteria won’t be destroyed. However, we can
eat rare beef steaks and well-done chicken and pork steaks.
