You will never overcook food again, nor will you lose any of those precious juices by slicing open the meat to check if it’s done Temperature TIPS for cooking the best pieces of meat According to the USDA, the safe minimum internal temperature of different types of meat should be the following: Beef, pork, veal, and lamb (steaks, chops, roasts): - 145 °F, rest for at least 3 minutes Ground meats: - 160 °F Ham, fresh or smoked (uncooked): - 145 °F, rest for at least 3 minutes Poultry (breasts, whole bird, legs, thighs, wings, ground poultry, giblets, and stuffing): - 165 °F Fish & Shellfish: - 145 °F About proper meat thermometer placement: Meat: place thermometer midway through the roast, avoiding the bone; otherwise, choose the thickest part Poultry: insert the thermometer in the thickest part of a chicken thigh (or turkey, etc.) Combination dishes (casserole): insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the dish (or in the center)
