Why Not to Undercook: The Ultimate Guide to Ruining Your Meal

Undercooking is a culinary sin. It's like painting by numbers, but with food. You're not an artist, you're a vandal.

Don't do this:

• Use a toaster as a timer. It's not a clock, it's a toaster.
• Set your phone to 'vibrate' mode. It's not a cooking mode.
• Cook for 3 minutes, check, 3 minutes, check, repeat. You're not a scientist, you're a human being.

Or, you know, just use a toaster as a timer. It's not like it'll ruin your meal or anything.

But seriously, don't undercook. It's like the difference between a nice, medium-rare steak and...well, a raw shoe. Not that we're saying you'd ever eat a raw shoe, but you know what we mean.
