Can food be overcooked?
Yes, but the time window for overcooking is much
longer than with traditional methods. For example, a
medium-rare beef tenderloin remains perfectly cooked
for at least 20 minutes after the minimum time. After
that it will appear still medium-rare but slowly change
its texture. Less delicate foods, such as a brisket can
remain 12 hours longer than the minimum time without
overcooking. Avoid cook times over 72 hours for food
safety reasons.
