On top of everything it turns out fucking TOAST is trying to give me cancer?

Fuck this gay earth

Burnt shit causes cancer. Toasting can burn toast.

The maillard reaction? More like the melanoma reaction

My not a scientist understanding is basically the general process of cooking makes things more carcinogenic but it's not by like a lot, unless you're charring the outside of a steak into carbon

cooking at temps high enough to burn food, yes. lower temp cooking like boiling or steaming does not burn food.

If you're burning a steak that bad, you deserve the cancer.

My favorite way to cook a steak is to cut crosshatches, pack it with pepper and salt, char the living fuck out of the outside, keep it basically raw in the middle. You can make a solid crust without overcooking it

Meaty Meats

I can't see the meaty meats. Did you set me up to say " show me your meaty meats, internet woman !" ?

Edit : oh I can see the url in the raw text. Nice meat.

And I've got more meat where that came from for anyone who can take it
