I recently heard on a news broadcast that, all meat should be cooked and tested with a meat thermometer at 160 in the center of the meat. Since there seems to be major concerns on the recent ecoli bacteria found in hamburgers recently. It is recommended that all meats be tested in this way and that no pink or blood be present in the meat because of this potential risk of the bacteria. Even if the meat is cooked at medium rare, it's still a risk because the thermometer might touch a cooked part of the meat and reach the 160 degree, but if any pink is showing that's where the bacteria could still be present. So it's better to not have any pink in any of the meat.

Hi,
Well, I will give each side a quick touch with my fingers. I have quick reflexes and am not afraid of a little scorching to the fingertips. Also, if you time it for roughly four minutes a side depending on how high your cooking, that should also help.

hey :)
just wonder how you guys would fry homemade hamburgers, for how long, and
how do you know when they are done?
let's think they are from half an inch thick.
