Some Questions?• Does probing a meat cause
juices to leak out?• Grill experts advise: Do not
flip or puncture your meat with a knife/fork to prevent meat from getting dry.

The Truth is• There is no seal or moisture
barrier on the surface of your meat. Water gets out by dripping and evaporation during cooking.
• Meat is not a balloon. Poking a hole doesn't deflate the meat .
• The fastest way to loose moisture is to overcook the meat.

• If you stick a thermometer probe into the meat at most you will loose 1 drop
• If you use modern digital thermometers like Tiffin Talks which has a thin probe with calibration function you will hardly loose any juices and your Steak will be perfect every time.
