Proper Cooking Temperatures: A Quick Guide
Food safety doesn’t stop at certification—it’s a daily practice. One of the most critical steps is cooking food to the right internal temperature. According to USDA guidelines:
- Poultry (whole or ground): 165°F (74°C)
- Ground meats (beef, pork): 160°F (71°C)
- Steaks, chops, roasts (beef, pork, lamb): 145°F (63°C) + 3-minute rest
- Fish & seafood: 145°F (63°C)
- Egg dishes: 160°F (71°C)
- Leftovers & casseroles: 165°F (74°C) [fsis.usda.gov], [foodsafety.gov]
Always use a food thermometer—color and texture aren’t reliable indicators of doneness.
