I started corresponding with Harold McGee in the mid 1990's and that very same idea of searing meat to seal juices changed my culinary life.

but will that low temperature kill the harmful bacteria in the meat..?

@silvericepeak Not all but most meat you can eat raw without worrying about getting sick.

[silvericepeak]

@yamclam You have a point, people do eat rare steaks.. thanks for the reply :-)

@silvericepeak In the case of beef, the pathogens are on the surface rather than all the way through the meat. You still need to cook the outside. In the case of chicken, you need to cook it right through in order to ensure safety

I love the information in the show and I think Heston is fantastic - but for goodness sake Heston, can't you eat with your mouth shut?

@russellcunning Sucking in air gives a bit more flavour :p
