If you were ever wondering...

Buy a meat thermometer! And use it... Measuring the internal temperature of the thickest part of meat is the only surefire way to know if it's done (i.e. safe to eat). Different meats have different target temperatures. Know them.
• Steaks and Roasts – 145°F
• Pork – 145°F
• Ground meats – 160°F
• Poultry – 165°F
• Stuffed Meats & Casseroles – 165°F
• Leftovers, Reheated – 165°F



The OCD in me forces my hand to do this everytime I cook, so I thought I would share.
