I don’t get it … how does it go?

Check doneness by pressing a steak in the center, says Steven Raichlen, author of The Barbecue! Bible. Then use your thumb, fingers, and the varying firmness of the base of your thumb as your guide.

INDEX FINGER: RARE Internal temp: 125F Soft and squishy, like a pink sponge

MIDDLE FINGER: MEDIUM RARE Internal temp: 145F Firm but yielding, like a Nerf football

RING FINGER: MEDIUM Internal temp: 160F Barely yielding, like a racquetball

PINKY FINGER: WELL Internal temp: 170F Hard yet springy, like a tennis ball
