WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT AND FISH
ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING.

may alter the total cooking time necessary. Remember, frying smaller batches will result
in better cooking times and a higher food quality. Adjust cooking temperature and cooking time
as necessary to your taste.

should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145º F/63º C. Pork should be cooked
to an internal temperature of 160º F/71º C and poultry products should be cooked
to an internal temperature of 170º F/77º C - 180º F/82º C to be sure any harmful bacteria
has been killed. When reheating meat/poultry products, they should also be cooked
to an internal temperature of 165º F/74º C.
