History of, and five tips for better meat
- Types of cooking meat
- Dry heat
- Roast
- Broil
- Bbq or grill
- Thought to originate in the Caribbean
- Spanish settlers called it Barbacoa which has obviously evolved into the word barbecue
- Grilling is technically a method of broiling
- We used to be idiots about this. In in Minnesota we thought grill was barbecuing. Hot dogs and dry charred ground beef pucks.
- Now the event barbecue and the food category barbecue might be two different things but lest we be too enlightened I don't want to get into the etymology there.
- Pan broiling
- Stir frying
- Deep far frying
- Wet heat
- Great for less tender cuts of meat
- Braising
- Stewing
- Simmering: Used for less tender
- Poaching: More tender cuts
- No sear so I always thought this sounded lame. Like boiling your chicken and it tastes like um watered down chicken, but there are obviously delicious ways to braise in different liquids
- Design thinking - A project and product management and planning methodology - has been around for decades
- Today it really represents a multi-disciplinary approach to human-centered projects that leverages research and rapid ideation.
- I describe it at work as a project design and management methodology that is better at innovation and human centered approach than some other boring business project methodologies.
- Has gained in popularity recently
- Back in history
- In the 1960s - product and environment design began to evolve to try and solve programs more effectively
- This resonates with me, think of the funky designs from the 60s like ergonomic chairs and the like
- We go through history with everyone designing their balls off - Scandinavians started IKEA at some point. Thanks.
- In 1991 the design firm IDEO is formed out of a 3-way merger.
- Then in 1992 - a guy by the name of Richard Buchanan tied process of design thinking to innovation - and it looks like he said design has no subject matter which makes this a powerful discipline.
- Going forward, Ideo While most design firms hire people with backgrounds in designing furniture or spaces or graphic design, this place hires people from academia, business strategy and other disciplines. Their firms starts to win all kinds of awards with their multidisciplinary teams attacking their projects.
- Today, design thinking is gaining a foothold in the business world
- Business schools are teaching it
- A young coworker of mine told me an assignment of his was to attend a sporting event and chart his high and low emotion points through the experience.
- So what is design thingijng?
- A lot of different ways you can attack it, but I've started to use this basic process, which I adapted from the IDEO handbook
- As discussed in the podcast, the IDEO "Design Kit: The Human-Centered Design Toolkit" can be found to download for FREE on their website
- Five basic steps:
- Research
- Brainstorm
- Prototype
- Launch
- Iterate
