I don't eat a lot of meat ( both for my health and for the environment and the animals )

however when I do I cook quality and well.

I like pork however I found it chewy until a friend chef taught me about 4/2/2.

OK for a pork sirloin steak without bone, approx 2cm thick (3/4 inch) you heat a non-stick pan...add butter or EVOO and fry for 4 minutes, then turn and fry for 2 minutes, an then take the meat out of the pan and rest on a board for 2 minutes ( covered in foil)

and then serve immediately.............SUPER DIVINE MELT IN THE MOUTH.

I used to cook pork steaks in a slow cooker with carrots and potatoes and it was always tender. I worry that by cooking it in a pan for only 6 minutes, it would be undercooked. I was always told that pork needs to be thoroughly cooked. We no longer eat pork steaks otherwise I would give your method a try.

The slow cooker is such an underrated appliance.

That's interesting.

The whole pork must be cooked a lot is such a cultural myth propogated by Middle Eastern cultures when they thought that pork was not safe to eat for whatever religious or cultural reason. Perhaps it was because of diseases like hydatids etc that are now no longer a problem.

These days it is safe to cook pork exactly as you would beef ie rare or medium rare and it is more delicious and tender.

My mom was paranoid of trichinosis. Sausage had to be boiled 20 minutes before it could be fried.

Might have something to do with the fact that pork that isn't cooked properly is poisonous.

That is eating contaminated pork.

I agree with that in third world countries, however the way pork is now raised for human consumption in our countries it is NEVER contaminated.

If it were it would not be allowed to be sold. The whole 'you must cook pork until it is rubbery' is an old fashioned myth and slightly pink pork is absolutley deicious and tender.

Well I've had food poisoning once before from eating undercooked pork so you'll have to forgive me if I don't take your word for it.
Btw, just out of curiosity what country do you think I'm from? I don't think I've ever told you.

It is way more likely that you had food poisoning ( BWT it is difficult in a general diet to actually detect the source of food poisoning without sophisticated testing) from food that was left out of refrigeration than undercooked pork if it was properly farmed and inspected before sale.

I don't give a shit where you are from. Scientific facts are just that.

Given that you haven't posted any anything to back up what you say it can be argued that what you have posted is just an opinion.

Now that wasn't difficult was it, perhaps it would have been a good idea to have put that into the original post. To some degree it also backs up what I said

This is achieved when an internal cooking thermometer reaches 145 °F in the thickest part, and then the meat is left to rest for 3 minutes after cooking.
