Perfect Steak Salad in partnership with MEATER.

I cook quite a bit of meat in my home. Quality animal proteins are an important part of my nutritious diet. As a former restaurant chef, I have quite a bit if kitchen prowess to know how to cook just about any cut of meat. But let me tell you, any good chef knows that using a thermometer is key. Especially when cooking larger cuts of meat, or cheaper cuts that get tough when overcooked.

A question I get constantly as a food blogger is how to cook steaks, roasts etc. The truth is that cook times will vary greatly depending on the method, the size of the cut and the equipment being used. Unless you have a thermometer, you need to have a strong intuition about what you’re doing.

MEATER takes the guesswork out. I’ve used, broken and thrown out more kitchen thermometers than I would like to admit. Inaccurate readings faded digital numbers and more. What I love about MEATER is that not only does it tell you how long to cook your meat, but also how long to let it rest. You can enter your own internal temp or use their intuitive software to decide how long to cook.

It’s like having an expert right there with you as you cook your steak! No more are the days of burnt meat, tough roasts or dry chicken. I find myself using MEATER all the time. I love that I can walk away from my kitchen and the app will let me know when it’s time to remove my food from heat. It gives me flexibility and insight and it’s fun to use.
