They absolutely seep out, you fuckwit. As it continues to cook, the protein strands contract further and more juice is squeezed out. The difference is that resting leaves those juices on the cutting board, rather than your plate where they can be sopped up with delicious potato or other starches.

I'm a professional chef that has been cooking steaks longer than you've been alive. Resting steaks is just one of those retarded memes that gets passed around by beginner cooks with no real understanding of the science because it sounds like one of those extra-fancy-ooh-la-la extra steps that separates the good cooks from the bad.

I can tell just by your meme image macro that you have never done any serious reading on the subject, so let me point you to a comprehensive article.

https://amazingribs.com/more-technique-and-science/more-cooking-science/science-juiciness-why-resting-and-holding-meat-are

There's a lot of food science in there, so let me know if you need me to explain anything to you. I'm patient.

>>16872423
And if you don't want to read all that, let me give you the bullet points:

>resting your steak leads to massive crust degradation and gross, chewy fat, but at the benefit of an imperceptible amount of retained juice
>both resting and not resting your steak will lead to juice loss, either on the board or the plate.
>resting your steak longer leads to more moisture loss in general, as evaporative cooling also means that your steak is losing moisture in addition to exuded juices
>one of the key factors in our perception of "juiciness" is our own saliva production. a hot, sizzling steak with nice, hot fat will make you salivate more than a rested steak.
>any juices left on the plate or on the cutting board should be used anyway, so the amount of juice lost to resting or not resting is mostly irrelevant

In summary, eating your steak immediately after cooking results in a hot, delicious, crusty steak that is probably going to be rested by the time you get to the last piece anyway, so you might as well get a head start.

That article is stupid. He lists a series of people showing that more juices are released if you cut it immediately and says "but that doesn't matter because it doesn't, OK?" Maybe try cooking for yourself instead of pretending to be a pro on the internet.

cooking a protein via conduction means the outside is extremely hot and the inside is not so hot. resting for a couple minutes allows the residual heat to continue cooking the steak as it rests without FUCKING HAMMERING it.
if you're not a complete retard you cook a steak under temp and let it rest up. you should be able to gauge this by touch without using a thermometer.

I looked at some testing and it said an unrested steak only loses like 10% more liquid. Not really a big difference. But if you do want to rest something, it only needs to be rested long enough so that meat has started cooling rather than continuing to cook, which can be as little as a minute or two. It depends on how thick the meat is. Wouldn't make sense to rest a 1/2 inch steak for 10 minutes but also a 1.5 inch steak for 10 minutes too.

I watched Ramsay talk about how he had to cook christmas lunch as an apprentice/young chef or whatever and they had the turkey rest for as long as it cooked, which was like 4 or 5 hours. why the fuck would you do that?

Try roasting a chicken then. Maybe the difference is not noticeable with steak but when I roast a whole chicken I rest it for 20-30 minutes. It’s still hot and super juicy. Slices of breast are still juicy out of teh microwave days later. Compared to serving straight out of the oven

I have roasted many thousands of chickens, and I absolutely rest them. I rest any big roasted chunk of meat. However, that's not the point of this thread. The point of this thread is whether you should rest a steak, which is a much smaller piece of meat consumed quickly.

>>16874062
Nah, the opposite. I started as a dishwasher, worked my butt off to make line cook, worked at continually better restaurants, then staged when I could (and when you were still allowed to, stupid labor laws) across the country. I staged at Momofuku Ssam bar, Quince in San Francisco, Le Bernardin, and a few other joints. I went to school for english, but that was a long time ago. Never set foot in a culinary school, though I think it's actually a good experience for a lot of people who didn't have the opportunities I did. Or, really, the people who don't read as much as I do. I have a massive wall of cookbooks and read voraciously, which is part of the reason that I know you shouldn't rest your steak. I don't just go by some thing I heard one time.

You might impress someone else with that lists of places you staged at but that just means you worked for free without the assurance that you'd get hired. I'm guessing you didn't get hired because you'd just say you worked there instead.
