An Overcooked Meat


An Overcooked Meat

Have you burnt meat before? And instead of throwing it away, you scraped its hard side with your knife and chew the rest?

An overcooked meat is relatively tough, dehydrated, and quite tasteless. It is rapidly depressurized. The meat fibers would compress, squeezing out fats and juices resulting the meat to be dried up, rough, and stringy like the ones on the picture. This makes the people or probably the consumers dislike the food.

When you burn a food, particularly the meat, the structural component is destroyed. For example, carbohydrates and proteins, when protein is overcooked, it becomes tougher and stays longer in the process making the digestive system work harder to break down the indigestible substance.

Overcooking destroys the nutrients in food and the most affected are the vitamins. Vitamins help the body turn food into energy and tissues, this the body can not do without it. Last but not least, overcooked meat causes nasty headache, chills, and temporary sore throat.
