Dependent Variable: Tenderness of meat.
Treatments: Four types of meat will be compared, and each will be cooked with 2 different recipes. The recipes for meat types are completely different, so there are 8 recipes.
Experimental Material: Pieces of meat are obtained from various animals, with no more than 4 pieces from any one animal. Each piece is randomly assigned one of the two recipes for that meat type, cooked, then tenderness measurements are taken on two sides of the piece. A maximum of 4 pieces/recipe * 8 recipes * 2 sides = 64 observations.
Concerns: Although animals are likely to differ, no history on the animals is available, so age, diet, etc is unknown.
