This is due to the fact that boiled water is more toxic than raw, unfiltered liquid. Be sure to test the water source before making baby formula. Boiling the milk in your home if it contains lead is a good idea. If there are no other options, boil the milk briefly to kill germs and nitrates.

How To

How to cook your steak

The right cooking method for any type of meat depends on its thickness. Thicker steaks can be cooked on a low heat. Thicker steaks need to be cooked at higher temperatures.

Don't overcook them as they will lose flavor. And remember always to remove the steak from the pan when it's done - this way, you won't burn yourself.

Cooking time will depend on the size of your steak and the desired level of doneness. Here are some general guidelines:

Medium Rare: Cook till medium rare. This is when the internal temperature of the food reaches 145°F (63°C). This will take between 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Medium: Cook until medium, which means the internal temp reaches 160degF (71degC). This typically takes 6 minutes per side.

When done well, cook until the internal temperatures reach 180°F (82°C). This normally takes 8 to 12 minutes per side.
