In all honesty, I think centigrade over Fahrenheit is the metric scale that makes the most sense for use in daily life, considering its basis on the state changes of water, as opposed to units of length, for which imperial units make more intuitive sense (though I obviously don’t discount the value of metric units in scientific measurement). I just like to jest regardless.

That medium rare pic is rather rare. I think of medium-rare as “warm red” as opposed to rare’s “cool red” and medium’s “warm pink,” and that temp change usually associates with an appearance of a redder medium, i.e., the center looks and feels more cooked than a rare steak. In these pics, it just looks like a longer sear between the rare and the medium-rare without attention to center doneness.

Middle tier restaurants cooking medium-rare like it is in this pic is becoming a trend though, as it’s cheaper to cook a steak more if it’s sent back for being under done than to start over if it’s over done.

To play devil’s advocate, might not the generations upon generations of selective breeding required to produce those traits while preserving the extant desirable traits, and the future inbreeding required to establish the breed, be considered equally if not more cruel as performing relatively mild procedures?
