Cook

Dear Epic Fail Blog,

I was going to surprise my mom by making her dinner before she got home, so i made her her favorite meal of hamsteaks and scalloped potatoes. My mom said it was delicious, except that the ham didn't taste like it was quite done, and a couple days later we both got sick. What went wrong? http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/ham-steaks-recipe/index.html

Dear Sydney,

Did you check the ham's temperature before you served it? All pork should have an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, which you can and should check with a food thermometer. If your ham isn't hot enough, let it cook a little longer untill it is, or else there might be microorganisms living on your ham that could make you sick if you eat it.
