Heh, I'm vegetarian.

Ya, don't eat pork raw. The pig tapeworm (Taenia solium) is so dangerous that two of the world's major religions outlawed consumption - both Kosher and Halal. Well, that and Trichinella spiralis.
Unlike the beef tapeworm, the pork version can migrate to organs outside the gut, notably the brain and eyes. Cysticercosis - very nasty indeed. 
Interesting. I threw raw pork in there due to trichinosis, I had no idea about pig tape worms. Could you get that from eating just the muscle, or would you have to eat organs to get that one?

Yeah, I was kidding.  This probably goes without saying, but don't eat raw chicken (or pork), folks. It's a horrible, painful way to die.
Ya, don't do that. Salmonella from one, tapeworm from the other. Bad, bad, bad.
Easy way to do them is marinade in rice wine (or any white wine), ginger, scallions and garlic for a couple hours, then stir-fry very hot.
Add a few light crisp veggies (not broccoli or cauliflower) and DO NOT OVERCOOK. Serve with noodles. Don't overcook those either. Add wine. Enjoy. Yum.

Well, I ended up googling it because I thought you were kiding but people do eat chicken sashimi - crazytown! Prok on the other hand is actually pretty safe - though I wouldn't want to eat it raw. And I don't know if you've ever had Lardo - cured Italian fatback - but it's the bomb. I've only ever had authentic Lardo di Colonnata once and my mouth had an orgasm it's so ridiculously good. It's one of those things that's so good you feel a little depressed afterward because everything else seems blah by comparison.

Chicken sashimi, obviously. Still juicy, seasoned with a bit of soy sauce and wasabi, those cold slices sliding down your gullet. Mmmmm. Gettin' hungry just thinking about it.

What? Baking or roasting chicken takes no time. And fried in olive oil or canola isn't unhealthy. And who boils chicken unless you're making stock or soup?

A slow simmer in green or brown mole for a couple of hours is pretty darn great. Or stewed with vegetables in stock and white wine until it's falling off the bone (tip: drink the rest of the wine while waiting).
Personally, I think chicken is overrated. Hobbit is where it's at. So versatile, and never tough.  |

It should be fine for burgers, hot dogs, sausages and the like. I use one when it is raining out and I want something like that. Never tried chicken (if I am inside I would just pan sear that) or much of anything else. The newer ones do a pretty good job for what they are. |

Crappy, dry, undercooked meat is about all you get out of that. Unless it's chicken, it does do reasonably well with chicken.
Creston
WRONG!
Considering the only 'grilling' I do is on my Foreman, it's all about how ya cook with it. Yes, I do have a mini grill outside but sadly it's not been on my list of crap to do outside when it's FREEZING! |

How bout making an open fire grill? You would need dry wood and a nice secluded place on the ground. But the upshot is that it gets really really warm while youre cooking
The downside of cooking stuff over an open fire is that you have absolutely no control over the temperature, and imo that just leads to having to guess at how well done (or not) your meat really is.
Better yet, invest in a proper brick layed or stone built stove. To those who dont know what Im talking about its like a fireplace with its own chimney, but outside the house, and about a meter off the ground. This is to me one of the crowning achievements of mankind and every large yard should have one by default.
Building an outdoor oven is on my list for either this year or next.

| I've got an electric grill. Its definitely not equivalent to a BBQ or anything like that, you still miss the taste an actual fire brings. But if you lack a BBQ/fire pit/whatever or if its -40 outside it makes a decent backup. Never had a dryness issue unless I overcooked it, these things cook meat so fast you need to be careful. Better than nothing. |

Sausage and the like is also reasonable on them and they make a good panini (the only reason we keep ours around at all) - I don't do chicken on mine very often as there are about a million better ways to cook chicken indoors than trying to grill it. there are some decent models from & modeled after Cuisinarts that can serve as a passable griddle as well; the foreman's are a waste of money.
i thought you initially leaving off at electric was a joke about blowing your circuit or something... oh well. |
