    Where’s the money shot lebowski

  3. Mmm… salmonella and/or listeria, it’s what’s for dinner!

    120º is well below pasteurization temp and 9 hours is plenty long enough for bacterial growth and toxin formation.

    I did 8 hours once and the porterhouse tasted more like roast beef than steak.

  5. How do you not post the money shot? Or was it not good when you cut in? Edit : ooh missed it. That looks noice!

    Dude just go to 130⁰+

    You can poison yourself eating this, thats not pasteurized.

  7. Ready the toilet. Better bring an extra roll of tp

    This… isn’t safe. Way too long in danger zone. You may be fine but you also could kill yourself.

    Not safe! 127 F (126.1) is the lowest temp at which pathogens actually start to die according to Baldwin.

    You need to up the temp not only for safety but so it renders the fat. I do 131 degrees and no it won’t be over done

    I hope you have at least one toilet per person who ate this. You could achieve a safer cook by simply leaving your steak in a hot car for the same amount of time.
