Steamed burgers? Sounds disgusting. Infact, I've never had steamed meat* so I wouldn't know.

Ever had steak in a restaurant? By cooking the steak in steam it will cook to medium and then not cook any more. They flash-fry the outsides when you order it.
In some restaurants, obv.

Next time I'm in the US I really want to try these things. They don't exactly have a ton of locations hence why Harold and Kumar have to go on such a long quest to get to one. There's another chain called Krystal which is meant to be similar.

Such a good film.

There's nothing particularly wrong with any of the cooking methods mentioned in this thread, as long as you don't let the meat cool in between. I always steam or poach anything I'm going to cook on the barbecue, for example.

Tell us more - I love workplace-related tales about eateries, and how unhygienic they are.

Mine are just of an American pizza delivery chain and pizza ordered by "foreign people" being spat in. Oh, and the GCSE-less 16 year old school leavers who worked there refusing to wash their hands before making food, and getting into near-tantrums about it.

Perhaps we should have a B3TA style "question of the week".

Mr Mods sirs? Can we have a pinned B3TA style question of the week? Starting with "Tell us your workplace secrets?".

Go on.

Go on.

Nothing that bad. To be fair, it was fairly hygenic and entirely responsable. Infact I'd say it was a good place for not-being-shit. It's just it's a brewers fayre; it's McDonalds with placemats. They have a rule, for chirsts sake, that if you don't have your food after 10 minutes you can complain and get money off etc. Of course it was mega busy you would be told there was a delay, but the emphiisisis was on speed, speed, speed. So you cut corners :) Plus, everything was either fried, pre-cooked then reheated (usualy by frying or microwaving) - but always temperature probed, mind you, or cooked on the spot (Read: salad). In fact even those things were pre-prepared :P It's not like I ever shat in the gravy......



....I really didn't!

Speaking of which, that's why I never touch gravy, and wouldn't ever willingly consume it. The smell has always reminded me of excrement, basically.



Err, sorry.

Anyway. Ate at a terrible pub on Saturday. Been recently renovated. Used to be better than the nearby Harvester, just shabbier inside. So it's been redecorated to compete, removing all the nautical stuff. Which I vaguely liked, and it didn't cause a hygiene hazard as far as I could see. Also been repainted with "off white" paints to make it look lighter inside, which in fact make it look grubbier. Oh and the food portions have been cut by a third, and they couldn't cook anything we originally ordered because "the chef is still in Asda getting ingredients, and won't be back for another twenty minutes". FFS.

Yeah, I had a look while I was in Denver but there's none even in the state.

Steamed meat can be very nice, actually. One of the best kebab places in Cardiff puts their meat in a steam once it's cooked and it comes out hot and lovely.

Likewise, a lot of burger vans seem to steam their burgers, and slap them back on the grill for a few quick minutes to finish them off when you order them.

They look like cheap catering van crap in that awful motivational video of White Castle people flipping burgers and high-fiving each other for burger awesomeness.
