Pada kesempatan kali ini kita akan membahas tentang meats and game. Semoga penjelasan berikut berguna bagi adik-adik yang sedang belajar English for Kitchen. 

Meat is muscle tissue, it is the flesh of domestic animals (cattle,hogs, and lambs). 

a. Composition

Muscle tissue consists of three major components: water, protein and fat. 

b. Structure 

 Muscle fiber and connective Tissue

c. Doneness 

The term doneness depends on whether the cooking method uses dry heat or moist heat.

- Dry heat.

Meat is "done" when the proteins have reached the desired degree of coagulation as indicated by internal temperature. 

- Moist heat 

The meat is done when connective tissues have broken down enough for the meat to be palatable. With few exceptions, meat cooked by moist heat is always well done. 

- Degree of doneness 

 The levels of doneness of a meat are :

Rare        : browned surface;thin layer of cooked (gray) meat;red interior

Medium  : thicker layer of gray; pink interior

Well done:  gray throughout
