It makes no difference whether meat was plunged into boiling water at the start or slowly hented to 100 degrees C.

For palatability the electric oven might be beneficial; chemically the ovidence is rather the other way.

It appears to be a waste of heat to raise the oven temperature be- fore inserting the meat.

Since most weight lost during cooking is water, overcooked meat, pound for pound, must contain more protein than undercooked meat.

And then the experts proceed to give calculations down to the second decimal point to prove their conclu- sions and how can the average housewife argue against decimal points?
