Here’s a handy hint i saw today on TV this morning to determine when your steak is cooked to your liking, rare, medium, well done etc.

Firstly, it involves your hand. You bring the tips of your thumb and first finger together and then use your other hand to press the area at the base of your thumb. With your thumb and first finger together the area will be squiggy, now if you press on your steak when it’s in the pan and it’s soft it’ll be rare. As you change from your first finger to your little finger the area hardens up, so you relate how squiggy the area of your hand is to how cooked your steak is you end up with the perfect steak!!!
