Do You Know Where Your Food Thermometer Is?
by: News Canada


(NC)-Consumers have long been advised to use food thermometers to measure the internal temperature of foods, such as meat and poultry, to verify that a safe temperature is reached and that harmful bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 are destroyed.
There are many good reasons to use a food thermometer. Food thermometers help you to:

cook food to a safe temperature
prevent overcooking and get the best flavour
take the guesswork out of cooking

During this barbecue season, remember to use an instant-read food thermometer every time you prepare beef patties. Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C (160°F). Insert a probe-type instant-read thermometer through the side of the beef patty until the tip reaches the centre. Fork-style temperature devices can be inserted through the top into the centre of the patty.
