    -40c in the freezer

    Had a butcher tell me that they freeze their meat to below -40c to break the proteins making it more tender. I bit my tongue and didn't say anything, but would like to hear blonders take on this process.

    Don't see how it could be more tender I'd find it difficult enough to get even a bite out of the meat.

      To my thinking, using deep cold to crush the molecular interstitial displacements in animal muscle wouldn't affect the proteins at all, but might tone things up really well - like a day at the gym.

      It better not affect the proteins, because I plan to go into cryo-freeze soon, and be woke up in ~ 300 years.

      (that sales guy isn't lying to me, is he? he also asked if I'd take a credit payment from one of his clients and give him the cash, because he doesn't accept credit cards yet.)

        I know when we get that temp up here it really doesn’t make me feel any more tender.

          Where is this shop & remind me not to go there.

          I beg your pardon, I repeat myself.

            I bet he lets the meat thaw to room temperature, too

              Ironically Celsius and Fahrenheit agree at -40.

                Confused the hell out of me when I looked to the conversion!
