MEAT COOKING TEMPS QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE. WHEN IS MEAT DONE?

Use a portable Quick Read Probe to check the internal cooking temperatures of each piece of meat.

Check each meat with an INSTANT READ PROBE  eg. check each Drumstick for 75C as a cold spot will undercook a few and make someone sick, all snags and Burgers need to reach 71C.

BACON: Smoke or Bake in oven to 66C/150F then slice thin and fry in frypan or cook in oven or air fryer.
