Meat Thermometer

A meat thermometer is a tool used to measure the internal temperature of cooking meat and determine its doneness. Insert it into the thickest part of the meat to take a reading. It helps you hit rare, medium, or well-done doneness. For safety, poultry needs 74°C / 165°F, ground meat 71°C / 160°F, and whole cuts of red meat 63°C / 145°F plus a 3-minute rest.

Where It’s Used
