I am curious about this since the more fancier restaurants (not that I've had that much experience) use salt on the steaks. The steaks are really good. But I just can't afford to eat them. I wanted to try a new restaurant in our town.

I was surprised to read in a recent message that salt supposedly would make cooked meat tougher. From my own experience, I can say with certainty I don't find it so. I cook beef, pork or poultry in the oven, and if I don't season the meat with salt, it is usually because I bread the meat and there is enough salt in the breadcrumbs or other breading ingredient. But if I am not breading the meat, salt is the very first seasoning I use. And I try my best to cook any meat to the well done stage. However, I rarely, if ever, found the finished product to be too tough, and if it came out tough, I would probably blame myself for overcooking before I blamed any of the ingredients. I cannot imagine not including salt in one form or another (by itself or in a breading). _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
