Meat Thermometer Best Way to Test a Roast
"Using a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature is the best way to test the doneness of a meat roast or roasted poultry."
If you don't already have a thermometer for testing the internal temp of your meat, please run to the store and get one asap.
The best important reason for this is just that you need to serve certain foods at certain temperatures to ensure that it is safe to eat.
Here is the standard temperatures to serve certain types of foods:
Some thermometers even come with temperature guidelines.
There is really no excuse to not know how hot food should be before you eat it.
For some reason in 2018 we have a new trend.
It's disgusting.
It's called chicken sashimi.
Raw Chicken.
People who have eaten or prepared it say it's really good.
Like sushi but with a bird.
The problem is that you can't do this with all types of chicken.
Just like you can't have sushi with just any kind of raw fish.
Sushi is made with safe sushi grade fish.
Chicken sashimi is made by chefs who get their chicken meat from reputable sources.
So please please do not think that you can just eat chicken raw and be okay.
Some compare this raw chicken trend to eating rare steak.
But it really isn't the same.
Steak cooked rare has an internal temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
Just to be clear for you squeamish folks out there. You are not eating blood. If you come to my house and ask for a steak well done, I am throwing you out of my house. You are dead to me.
I will not serve you chicken below 165 degrees Fahrenheit and I refuse to serve you a steak that is cooked above 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
In my house you can choose from Rare, Medium Rare, and Medium is pushing it.
I will not abuse steak that way.
No sir!
