Quality Assessment & Reliability
Proper cooking method selection can make or break a meal. A tough cut cooked hot and fast will be inedible; the same cut braised for hours becomes tender. ButcherIQ matches cuts to optimal cooking methods.
Cooking Recommendations FAQs
Common questions about cooking recommendations
Tender cuts (ribeye, tenderloin) use dry heat. Tough cuts with connective tissue (brisket, chuck) need low, slow, moist heat. ButcherIQ recommends methods based on the specific cut and quality identified.
Beef/lamb: 130-135F medium-rare, 140-145F medium. Pork: 145F. Chicken: 165F (breast), 175-185F (thigh). Use an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part, away from bone.
Resting allows juices to redistribute throughout the meat. If you cut immediately, juices pool on the cutting board instead of staying in the meat. Rest 5 minutes for steaks, 15-20 for roasts.
