Meat temperature.. Fire alarm

All I know about grilled items like steaks are WELL DONE. But then when I came to Dubai i learned that the meat specially steaks are served to the guest in different temperature or how thoroughly cooked the meat. Basically using the thermometer we can measure the temperature of the meat we're grilling, but then most of the grill master or those people working in the grill can tell by just looking,touching at it if the meat is well done or rare. Oh yeah the meat temperature are <strong>Rare, Medium rare, Medium and Well done</strong>. They based it on the color and temperature of the meat inside.

 

TERM DESCRIPTION TEMPERATUE
rare cold red center, soft 52-55’C
medium rare warm red center, firmer 55-60’C
medium pink and firm 60-65’C
medium well small pink center 65-69’C
well done gray brown >71’C

 

So for my first three days in the Robatayaki I ate a lot of these steaks, they want me to familiarize by look by touch and by taste the difference about the temperature of the grilled items. I like only the well done but I cannot say no to the medium rare etc. well I ate it good thing its a little bit dark in the Robatayaki it helps me to eat that meat and its tasty anyway but still I prefer Well done when it comes to grill items. So far I am learning.

It was funny.. How come these engineers does not know how to stop the fire alarm. Yesterday one of the chef accidentally press the fire alarm button and of course everybody panic because of the noise. The engineers and the security came but they do not know how to stop it. One of the engineer open the box and cut the wire but still sounding, finally one guy decided to cut the wire of that red alarm thing and the sound stopped. But then I think that is not the correct way.
