Seared vs MeatGrader

Seared identifies a cut of meat from a photo and tells you whether it is worth buying, how to cook it, and how well you cooked it. Use it at the meat counter, then again at the grill. HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a photo of a cut, packaged or at the counter, or choose one from your library. 2. Seared names the cut, the animal and the primal, and makes a Buy, Consider or Pass call on its quality. 3. Pick a cooking method and get a guide written for that cut and the equipment you have. 4. After you cook, rate the result and get a tip or two for next time. KNOW THE CUT BEFORE YOU BUY Each scan covers the grade the meat looks like (Prime, Choice or Select), the marbling, the color and freshness, the thickness and any red flags. When the price tag is in the photo, Seared says whether the price is fair for the quality. RATE THIS CUT Score raw meat out of 10 on marbling, color, fat cap, thickness and presentation, with a Buy, Consider or Pass verdict, then go straight to a cooking guide for it. COOKING GUIDES FOR YOUR CUT Grill, sous vide, reverse sear, pan sear, smoker, oven roast or braise. Each guide covers prep, the steps with times and temperatures, a doneness chart and resting, adjusted to the equipment you have. Guides are saved with the scan. RATE MY COOK Photograph your steak, brisket or chops after cooking. Seared scores the sear, the crust, the presentation and the doneness against your target, or the bark, smoke ring, moisture and slice for smoked meat. Set your target doneness in Settings, and share the score card. ASK A QUESTION Ask follow-up questions about any cut, or use the Chat tab for general questions about buying and cooking meat. The built-in Meat Mastery Guide covers cuts, cooking methods, doneness temperatures, quality, storage and food safety. Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese.
