Temperature guide
The following chart gives a guide to how well done your meat will be, based on the internal temperature
of the meat. The thermometer should be inserted into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding any bone.
Keep in mind the internal temperature will continue to rise 3-6°C while it’s resting.
