The device we are designing is called the “Pro-Meat”. It’s machine where you can easily detect if a meat is decomposed by knowing the correct temperature of it, when you put the meat on top, knowing that Food-poisoning bacteria grow and multiply fastest in the temperature danger zone between 5 °C and 60 °C. It is important to keep high-risk food out of this temperature zone.

The device works by checking if the meat is well cooked, if the temperature is in a good point, it also checks color and odor of it ( the color a kind of red) to measure the physical properties of meat while is raw and how the molecules work, to figure it out the color and state of the meat. Something really basic about the meat is that when Myoglobin in meat which is what gives it its pink/red hue. Myoglobin denaturation is responsible for the color change between raw and cooked meat.

Question: What works better using a device or common sense to detect the state of meat?

Information or research needed: As we know eating decomposed meat is bad for our health, but there’s 2 ways to detect the state of the meat, by a professional device and by common sense like when you see the color of it and the odor.

Hypothesis: Everyone has a different way to cook their meals especially when it comes to meat, some people already know everything that they should do for the meat to get a good and healthy flavor but  there’s also a few people don’t know and use advice they trust that is good or sometimes they even don’t do anything. 

Experiment: 2 people will buy, check and cook meat with what they know, and another 2 people will do the same as the first two buy with the device, so we can calculate what’s better or what’s more effective.

Conclusion: In conclusion using devices are usually easier and better for “beginners”. The device we designed “pro-meat” has everything a device to detect contaminated meat needs.
