Grilling Tips

I've seen Gordon Ramsay explain it this: your cheek is rare; your chin is medium, your forehead is well done.

Grilling Tips

Here's the trick as I learned it (and I've used it to good effect):

Touch the tip of your index finger to the tip of your thumb (like an "ok" sign):
touch the big fleshy muscle on your palm that that's just below your thumb. That's rare.

Touch the tip of your middle finger to the tip of your thumb. Fleshy area below the thumb = medium rare.

Same with the ring finger = medium.

Same with pinky = well.
