With all the meat you guys are eating what kind of techniques do you use to reduce consuming huge amounts of HCAs with cooked meat?

Wikipedia says marinating meat before cooking reduces HCAs up to 90%. Use lemon juice, olive oil and garlic. – Dan Sep 30 at 21:05

Moist cooking mainly. Steaming and poaching fish and eggs and simmering beef and lamb.

When a recipe calls for browning meat, I will often skip it. Avoiding high heat cooking will also lessen the likelihood of damaging the more fragile fatty acids.

I think the occasional blackened food is completely fine, and that the griddled hamburger is a delicacy (including bun)! – Alec Oct 1 at 10:19

Fry it with rosemary! (And don't do it every meal everyday...)
