Is It Done?By Teresa Erickson
Whether poultry, pork, beef or seafood, meat is the centerpiece of many holiday meals. Glazed ham, roast turkey, prime rib, filet mignon and tilapia are just some of the meats that grace many holiday dinner tables. Some meats are more difficult to prepare than others. All, however, must be cooked to the proper temperature to ensure they are done and safe to eat. Many charts are available listing the proper internal temperature for various meats at various degrees of doneness. Some of these charts also provide recommendations on how the meat should look and feel at the various degrees of doneness. Rare beef, for example, should have a bright red center and be pink, soft and warm throughout.
Knowing what the internal temperature of the meat should be is one thing. Cooking it to the right temperature is another. To determine the internal temperature of meat, you must have a meat thermometer and you must use it properly. There are several meat thermometers available, many of which will work on other foods. To ensure you get an accurate reading, you should follow the manufacturer’s directions. Generally, you should place the thermometer in the center-most, thickest area of the meat, away from bone, fat and gristle. With poultry, the inner thigh near the breast will do. You should check the temperature near the end of the recommended cooking time and wash the thermometer after each use to prevent cross-contamination. Once the meat has reached the proper internal temperature, you may remove it from the heat source.
You should let it sit for a bit in order for the cooking to finish and the juices to redistribute. This is known as the resting period, and it may vary according to the meat you have prepared. Ground meat, for example, generally requires no resting time, whereas whole pork should have at least three minutes of rest time. For the best results, you may want to let the meat sit for 10 or 15 minutes before carving. That way, you will ensure the cooking is complete and the meat will not scorch hungry mouths. Using a thermometer when cooking is a good idea not just for meats but for other foods, like egg dishes and casseroles. By checking the internal temperature, you can ensure foods are done and prevent overcooking and food poisoning. Your holiday dinner and every meal you make will taste great and be safe.
