A Cooking Thread?

He would say what any scientist would say:
EXPERIMENT!

Actually found a recipe of his for stuffed pork chops.
I think the trick is high heat. yeah, normally that has the potential of leaving the middle uncooked or undercooked but in this case the center will cook faster anyway so you want the outside to have a race with the inside. At least, that's what I think his reasoning is for grilling on high, since pork chops and chicken both are usually supposed to be cooked well done (though the chances for salmonella and other disease is pretty remote and I don't always cook up till charred by any stretch of the imagination). Also, to prevent the inside from falling out and to seal against that heat getting in too early I know some people will use soaked toothpicks, shish kebab sticks or dowel rods to hold the sides together. But like I said I have little to no experience on this matter so it's all conjecture.

I've found the best way to stuff chicken breast is to use a narrow blade to slice into the rounded end of the breast at it's thickest point. Work it inside a bit to make a pocket,but be careful to not cut all theway through the breast. Then, place your filling in a pastry bag with a tip and pipe it in. If it still has problems, you could try sewing the pocket closed or skewering it shut with a toothpick.
If the pocket is properly sealed, you shouldn't have any problems with the filling cooking faster than the chicken.
Also, I'd just like to point out that it is safe to eat pork at medium temperatures (140+). Since pigs aren'tslopped anymore, there's no real danger of trichinosis. Commercially-raised chickens, however, basically all have salmonella.

Oh, I like that. Feta might be a bit chunky though, but that will certainly help.

You can always grate it or throw it in a robot coupe for a minute. It'll lose some of it's texture, but it becomes much easier to pipe.
