Is it safe to eat a medium rare burger?
For lunch today I decided to try a burger at a sandwich place I normally frequent. They asked me how I like it, I said medium well. Brought it back to the office and was starving, needed to eat to have my antibiotics for a sinus infection I have. The burger was completely pink throughout the middle. Rather than walk back to complain of this, I needed to eat immediately as I had the shakes, so I ate it. Now is it ok to eat a medium rare burger? If they ask how I want it, could I be assured that it is safe?
it's safer to eat rare steak, or so i was told by ServSafe when i took that class. the reason is this: a steak, when processed, is a piece of meat with a clearly defined set of outside edges. if, and when the meat comes in contact with bacteria during processing, the bacteria cling to the outside of the meat. when you cook it, if you don't cut into it before hand and handle it properly, presumably you would kill the bacteria on the outside of the meat. now, hamburger is all ground up so if the meat had come in contact with bacteria during processing, the bacteria was ground and mixed all throughout the meat when it was ground into hamburger. but...this obviously isn't always the case. i've eaten hamburgers on the rare side. hamburger isn't....say..... chicken, you know. proper handling is key.
