Ground beef not browning on inside- Pink Slime?

[cherrydrpepper]

I shop at Publix which is known in this area for quality food. Super short version. I went to one Publix and got meatballs and cooked them. They browned on the inside as they are supposed to do. The one closer to my house I am always buying ground beef and cooking meatloaf or meatballs etc. The meat does not brown in the middle even when subjected to longer cooking or higher temps. I am wondering if they have been mixing pink slime into the meat or something or what is causing this. The meat is fresh not frozen. It does usually sit in my fridge overnight but don't see why that should matter.

Pink slime is BS. I know the guy that owned the company that produced the product. It is real meat and perfectly fine to eat. The fkn media bankrupted him and caused him to shutdown several plants and layoff hundreds of workers!

If a cow is under extreme stress prior to slaughter, the pH in it's blood changes which causes discolouration of the meat but also compromises the quality, taste and texture.

Whether it's that or they have been cutting it with something else, either way that doesn't sound good.

funny that it didn't turn brown at all after higher temps and cooking longer.

hmmmmmmmmmm????

When I make meatballs I always bake them in the oven after browning the outside in a pan, just so they cook thoroughly. Have you tried that? It also depends on how big your balls are

smell good?
taste good?

get it into you

no idea on colour though, did you try cutting it in half and putting the inside pink bit directly onto a frying pan just to see if it will brown?

[gixxerboy1]

I like it pink in the middle

[diesel101]

I could eat all night if its pink and warm

[Honkey_Kong]

you ever try using a meat thermometer on the meatballs? I know that sounds a little crazy, but at least you'll know if the insides are getting hot enough.

Did someone mention Big Balls??? Just make sure they are 100 percent pure beef!

Publix is by far the best supermarket in the USA. With that said I eat their 93/7 ground with the green label about 3-4 times a week. It's quality meat would not worry about if its cooked medium unless u r using eggs as a binder. Unless its your perfence on eating well done. Couple good suggestion here too, brown all sides in pan before oven, themp them while in oven 165+ for well. Cut them in half and seat if u want to make sure.

Publix is a huge factor on staying in the state of fl too. They should go national.

Wow really? They r a little over priced but beats dealing with Walmart or targets crowds.

I agree the meats are better, but it would cost me atleast $40-50 a week more for the same exact same shit

shoot i eat meatballs every day and i only cook them until the outside is fairly cooked and the inside is still in most cases what one would consider raw! i prefer them this way as the texture is great! sometimes the inside is still a little cool!
