I don`t know what you want from me. The stovetop method is inferior and is shit. There is no benefit to a pre-sear. No taste advantage. You mumbled something about bacteria being killed. Bacteria, even if it is present, (you can eat raw beef like the Swedish Viking) is killed at 122 degrees. No pathogen exists that can do any human any harm once that temperature is reached, therefore your killing bacteria claim is pointless as there would be no bacteria present to be killed because it was already killed in the water bath.
PS. If I want to call you a moron and attack you, I will. I do not have to abide by any rules. I don`t care if you hate me and I do not care if you disagree with my approach to "message board decorum" or lack thereof. As Groink says, "I am not here to make friends." (Although I have made many friends on here)
very simple
I want you to bump the post where you claim you "outlined" it as shit
Let's also review a few quick facts
First, you've never actually used the stovetop method so only a ROYAL douche would act like like such a arrogant know it all when they have ZERO experience with the method (this would be like some HIT trainer insisting that higher volume training is "shit' an "useless" even though they have never done it in their life)
Second, you watched a video (or I presume you did since I offered it to you to view) of a professional chef using the stove top method and it worked perfectly fine thereby proving your uninformed claim to be complete false (i.e. that it's "shit")
Third, the worst thing you can say about the pre-sear is that it that is has no additional benefit in taste and it does no harm (that's actually the conclusion that you yourself posted), hardly a damning condemnation
Fourth, you've conveniently failed to address the other benefits of the pre-sear that were mentioned, one of which is that it lessens the chance of over cooking (again, a video was provided using both method to demonstrate this claim)
Finally, the only reason were even discussing this topic in this thread was due to you truly pathetic need to put other people down as a way to boost your obviously very fragile (I would say truly damaged) self esteem
Now, I'm fine if you want to act like a arrogant, know it all, and obviously pathetically insecure asshole. We are all familiar with that.
I'll keep pointing out all your character flaws (though they are obvious to everyone)
The stovetop method is shit as outlined previously.
I don`t want to be civil. I like to make personal attacks sometimes. Its amusing to me and I do it frequently. I have always done this. I see no harm in doing so and if you are offended, all the better.
Hope this helps.
