Experts have found that a simple trick will improve the taste and texture of your booty the next time you serve your guests (or just yourself!).

Rest your booty for ten minutes before serving, or all of the care and effort you put into preparation may result in a booty that’s tougher and chewier than it should be. The highest quality, gourmet slice can benefit from resting on the counter before it is served. This allows the natural flavors of your meal to stand out when everyone at your table tucks in.

As always, most purists would tell you to serve it up rare with only salt and pepper to taste, but remember, you’re the chef – whatever you and your guests prefer is paramount.
