It's weird that people care about this. Let other people enjoy their food prepared whatever way they like it.

I presume that many people who cook their stakes well done came out of Europe during the mad cow disease concerns or grew up in other places where there were health concerns around undercooked meat.

    Sadly, nothing prevents prion-based diseases. Most Chemicals cleaners, autoclave temperatures, useless.

    Tols used on prion based disease victims have to be incinerated. It's a misfolded protein not a virus or bacteria, it's dangerous because of its shape.

    Fascinating and scary.

    I mean, 1700 Celsius does prevent prions.

    Now that is a 'congratulations' level of doneness.

    1700C "prevents" prions like a nuclear bomb "prevents" jaywalkers
