YSK: You should dry off beef before cooking. Doing so promotes the Maillard Reaction, which will make the meat taste and look better.

Why YSK: When you cook meat, any water on the surface must first evaporate before much browning can occur. You want to get as much of a Maillard reaction as possible in the limited cooking time you have before the meat reaches the correct internal temperature. Removing the moisture first means that the heat of the cooking surface isn't wasted on evaporation and can instead interact with the meat to form the complex sugars and proteins of the Maillard reaction.

It's bad for the animals? Which ones, the ones we eat? Yes dying is quite bad for you. Meat is not bad for us, I guess it is bad for the planet but that is more of a overpopulation problem than meat problem.
How do you define “bad for you” because eating meat is pretty much firmly in that category by all objective measurements when weighed against alternatives.
Yes the ones people eat, getting killed is bad.
73 billion chickens are killed each year for profit/taste.
Meat is generally pretty bad for us.
Meat is bad for the planet because it's incredibly resource intensive.
Downvoting sourced statements because people don't like to hear the facts... We're well on our way to become Reddit
Humans are even more incredibly resource intensive. Are you doing your part by not breeding? Judging by your post history I'd say you're well on your way, good show!
