Answer:
How do I check these meats are properly cooked?
- When you pierce the thickest part of the meat with a fork or skewer, the juices should run clear.
- Cut the meat open with a clean knife to check it is piping hot all the way through – it should be steaming.
- Meat changes colour when it is cooked.
How do I know when my meat is cooked?
To test steaks, chops, and roasts for doneness, simply insert the thermometer into the center at the thickest part of the meat. Your thermometer should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit before you serve the steak. Keep in mind that meat continues to cook for a few minutes after you remove it from the heat.
