Title: Cooking the meat and traduction
Post by: Yoz on April 25, 2012, 09:28:07 am: Hello,
I would like to know what are the different home cooking meat.
In France we have:
Soleil (ou aller - retour) : sun (or round - trip)
Bleu : blue
Saignante : bleeding
A point : has developed
Trop cuite : overcooked
... and you? Can you help me with the translation please?

We tend to use the term "blue" for very undercooked meat, "rare" for when the meat is still a bit bloody and undercooked, "medium" for when the meat is still pink in the middle, and "well done" for when the meat is cooked all the way through and brown in the middle (in my opinion, too cooked!)

I hope this helps--Frozzie is probably the best person to answer this one!!

Bleu is blue
Saignante is rare
A point is medium rare
Bien cuit is well done

There is also medium well in English which is between a point and well done..

Voila :)

As much as you can cook a steak well done in oz and it still be juicy you cannot here.. Something to do with the fact tht meat is not bled here but is in oz.. Becomes as tough as an old boot.. Blah yuk
