How to use a food thermometer1. Wash thermometer
with hot soapy water before and after use.
2. Use before the food is expected to be “done.”
3. Place in the thickestpart of the food, not touching bone, fat or gristle.
4. Compare reading to USDA recommended safe minimum internal temperatures.

During the 3 minutes after meat is removed from the heat source, its temperature remains constant or continues to rise. This destroys pathogens and produces a product at its best quality.

All poultry (including ground chicken & turkey): 165 °F with no rest time
Whole cuts of meat (including pork, beef, lamb, & veal steaks, roasts, & chops): 145 °F with addition of a 3 minute rest time

Food thermometers & thin foods
On an “instant-read” dial thermometer, the probe must be inserted in the side of the food so the entire sensing area (usually 2-3 inches) is positioned through the center of the food.
![Page 48: Know how. Know now. 1 2 University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension in Lancaster County Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Dept. I wish I’d known these things!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551c0299550346a84f8b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Food thermometers & thin foods
When possible, use a digital thermometer to measure the temperature of a thin food. The sensing area is only ½- to 1-inch long and easier to place in the center of the food.
