Does Natalie not realize that cutting into the steak defeats the juiciness?

I was thinking the same thing ...

I may only keep the feeds for the 14-day trial.

These people better entertain me!

Although, YOU people (he he he!) are extremely entertaining!

That's exactly why Sheila/Adam and Matt/Nat should have been on the block. They couldn't try to save Alli then. I thought Josh/Sharon were smarter than that.

How long has she been cooking that steak anyway? It must be like shoe leather by now!

Cricket - You can tell how well done a steak is by touch. The softer the steak feels when it's cooking determines how well it's been cooked.

To copy and paste from a guide online that can explain it better than me:

Very Rare Steak – feels soft and squishy
Rare Steak – soft to the touch
Medium-Rare Steak – yields gently to the touch
Medium Steak – yields only slightly to the touch, beginning to firm up
Medium-Well Steak – firm to the touch
Well-Done Steak – hard to the touch


It took me a long time to be able to get it all right. The best way to learn the touch method is by throwing a steak on the grill and touching it very frequently while it's cooking. I was amazed. You really can tell a difference!

I like mine medium-rare to medium by the way. LOL

Thanks, HL. I'm going to save that. I like mine med-rare and not one bit more done. I agree that when you cut into them, it dries them out.

Umm, Rosem, I would love to try the 14-day trial, but every year I miss cutting them off @ 3 months by one day and consistently get charged an extra month, so I'm not taking that chance this year, lol.

Don't blame you, Cricket. I've marked my calendar for 3/13.

I see that dinnertime is the usual bore-fest.

Except for the oh so interesting feet-smelling conversation. Gee..these people are just 'fascinating'.

(Yes, I'm going to be a total grouch about the feeds for the next 14 days).

Don't forget after you have poked your steak, when you take it off the heat, cover in foil and let it rest for 10 minutes to redistribute the juices so the entire steak is moist, not just the first bite.

I knew watching Rachael Ray would come in handy

Geri - I let it sit for a few minutes also. 10 minutes is too much for me because the steak continues to cook during that time as well. I sit the steak on the table (in a plate of course) and finish getting the baked potato or salad or whatever else I'm serving ready.

ETA - I also do the whole letting the steak sit out at room temperature thing for 20-30 minutes before cooking as well.

Who is James referring to as the gardner? He keeps saying the gardner must go down.

James says Allie is the gardner because she's sowing seeds.
