Recommended Temperatures
When talking about “doneness” everyone has his or her preference. One man’s “medium rare” is another man’s “raw.” Most recommended temperatures you find online come from the stance of Food Safety, which tend to sway on the side of caution and result in final temperatures for meats and other foods being as much as ten or fifteen degrees (Fahrenheit) higher than what some foods truly need to be cooked at.
After researching and talking to food experts from around the world, we have create a Recommend Temperatures chart that you can use to cook your next meal to the perfect temperature.
