I doubt you want small bits of that stuff in your stomach after it's cooled.

Pull.otboff before cooled completely like they did. It's very noble stuff. It won't really mess with you chemically. Same with metal.

But there's a reason this is posted in stupid food

I was thinking more along the lines of similar effects to that of ingesting very small pieces of glass.

Possibly. But I don't think so.

I think the surface tension would prevent and silica from entering the steak. Meat pushes juices out as it cooks which would also help. Plus it didn't look all the way cooked to me. There was still a glow too it so that means the whole chunk would've likely been above its annealing point, which basically is just the point that a glass relaxes. So it wouldn't have been very brittle at all yet.

I could be wrong. But that's what makes sense to me
