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.
