Oh, for fucks sake!
Since it appears that some of you have no clue as to what the meaning behind the words are. . .
Raw-Go out into a field, kill a cow, grab knife, eat.
Very Rare- Doesn't exist, or is a matter of opinion, although more likely considered to be . .
Rare- Comletely red, may or may not be warm, essentially raw.
Medium Rare- 90% red, warm, may be lightly browned on the outside- My favorite.
Medium- Browned outside, center is pink, warm.
Medium Well Done- Again, bullshit catagory that doesn't really exist, is most likely either an overdone Medium, or an underdone Well.
Well Done- No pink, is completely cooked all the way through.
Overcooked- *sigh* again, a bullshit catagory. Burnt food is not a variation of style or method of cooking, although some people may prefer their steak overcooked, these people are morons, and could not tell the difference between food and a charred piece of coal.
On a side note, I realize that some of you may have heard the bullshit terms before, these are only used by incompetents, or a snob restuarant manager who serves incompetents. The bullshit catatgories are only extreme versions of the actual methods of preparation, and are only named so as to allow idiots to think they are particullarly intelligent for being picky enough to order a "special" method of cooking.
In example, some idiot walks into a restuarant and demands his steak is made Raw. The restuarant staff interprets this as, " This idiot wants a rare steak, with emphasis on the rare part". There is no "Raw", there is only "particullarly Rare".
