I like this idea, never heard of it till now. I usually cook my steaks pittsburgh rare, so doneness, or lack of it, is not too hard to do. Burn the outside to a crisp on a red hot skillet, and you are done
The whole technique of testing doneness with feel is exactly the way to do it, but I've found using any of the finger things isn't real effective. It basically just has to come from experience. The more steaks you cook, the better you are at judging how a particular doneness feels. Also, the first cubes of meat look right, but those cubes of meat that she demonstrates on don't seem very acurate. I would call the first one medium rare, and I would call both the last ones well done.
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
or just be a man and instinctively know when it's done... that's the way it should happen, i don't need to feel my thumb to know when my steak's ready
...or you can use a FUCKING THERMOMETER. The way they show is how they tested doneness back in the dark ages prior to MAD COW DISEASE.... I HOPE THE KNOB THAT USES THIS TIP DOESN'T COOK IN THE RESTAURANT I'M EATING AT!!!!!!!!!!!!
From my 2.5 years cooking here in Vegas, no cook in any hotel / restaurant ever uses their thermo to check the doness of steaks. Unless your cooking a steamship / prime rib... everything is feel to the touch. I work at a steak house, and you can just tell by the texture sometimes what state the piece of meat is at sometimes... wheather that is pork, NY strip, filet etc.
well done = burnt as a fucking crisp

Touching the meat with your finger is great but then learning with tongs as any restaurants chefs would because you cook a lot of steak. Chef Robert

They are for touching hot meat and burning their fingers.

Its not that hot. You don't get burned. Reaching for a hotplate you think is cool but has been in the oven burns you and that happens more in reality

Have all the plates under warmers and you touching them, eventually you don't even feel the hot ass plates.
