[식당/음식/술] (EE-462) 고기의 알맞게 요리된 상태를 측정하기 (Gauging the Doneness of Meat)

[Write 2 Speak]

Chris: How do you like your steak?

Ruth: Well done. I don’t like any pink showing and I don’t mind if it’s a little charred.
* well done = [음식, 특히 고기가] 완전히[오래] 익힌/ char = 약간 굽다, 태우다  

Chris: I’ll cook it the way you want it, but it’ll be dry and tough.
* tough = (고기가) 질긴

Ruth: Yes, but a longer cooking time kills foodborne illnesses. I don’t want to eat anything that’s undercooked.
* cooking time = 조리 시간/ foodborne illness = 식중독/ undercook = 설익히다, 덜 삶다

Chris: It doesn’t have to be burnt to be safe to eat. It’s easy to gauge when meat is done.
How about if I brown each side to seal in the juices and then cook it to medium doneness?
* burnt = (불에) 탄[덴]/ gauge = 측정하다, 판단하다/ brown = 갈색[고동색]이 되다; 갈색[고동색]이 되게 하다/ seal ~ in = ~이 빠져 나가지 못하게 하다/ juices(주로 복수) = (고기를 요리할 때 나오는) 육즙/ doneness = (음식이) 알맞게 요리된 상태; (요리의) 만듦새    

Ruth: No, I don’t want to take any chances. I’d rather the steak is overcooked than undercooked.
Are you going to eat that?
* take chances = 위험을 감수하다/ overcook = (음식을) 너무 오래 익히다[삶다]  

Chris: Yes, I like my steak juicy.

Ruth: But that’s raw!
* raw = 익히지 않은, 날것의

Chris: No, it’s cooked rare, not raw. I’ll cut into it so you can see that it’s cooked.
* rare = (고기가) 살짝 익힌

Ruth: It’s oozing red! That is definitely not cooked.
* ooze = (걸쭉한 액체가[를] 천천히) 흐르다[흘리다]  

Chris: I’ll prove it to you. I’ll eat this piece and live to tell about it.
* live to tell the tale = 살아남아서 진상을 알리다  

Ruth: Don’t put that in your mouth! You’re risking your health.

Chris: I think I’ll survive.
