Core temperature guidelines
Use chilled food only, not frozen food. The details given
in the table are guidelines. Results depend on the quality
and composition of the food.
For hygiene reasons, critical foodstuffs such as fish and
game should reach a core temperature of 143 - 158° F
(62 – 70 °C); for poultry and minced meat this should be
as high as 176 - 185° F (80 – 85 °C).
