Pork & Chicken
Tips for Pork & Chicken
• Poultry is ready to serve once the
internal temperature* reaches 170-
180°F, or when juices run clear.
• Pork is ready to eat when the
internal temperature* approaches
160-170°F, or once juices run clear.
• To cut raw meat more easily, it may
help to thoroughly chill rst.
• 1 pound of raw chicken equals 2
cups of cooked meat.
• When it comes to searing meat, the
cut is not ready to be ipped if it is
sticking to pan.
• When adding raw meat to hot oil,
wear a hot pad or glove and/or use
tongs to prevent burns.
• Let all meats (chicken, beef, lamb,
pork, etc.) sit for 3-5 minutes after
cooking time is complete before
cutting.
• Meat should be thawed in the
refrigerator.
* A meat thermometer is essential for
checking internal temperature.
