Doneness is a gauge of how thoroughly cooked a cut of meat is based on its color, juiciness, and internal temperature. The gradations are most often used in reference to beef (especially steaks and roasts) but are also applicable to other types of meat.
In 2006, the U.S. Department of Agriculture lowered the safe internal cooking temperature for the whole turkey — breast, legs, thighs, and wings — and all other poultry.
A meat thermometer with various cooking temperatures denoted for various meat types. The probe can be inserted into the meat before starting cooking, and cooking continued until the desired internal temperature is reached. Alternatively the meat can be cooked for a certain time and taken out of the oven, and the temperature checked before serving.
When cooking, use the thermometer again to ensure the internal temperature is high enough to kill germs and bacteria. Refer to the CDC chart that lists the minimum internal temperature for foods.
In the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends cooking ground pork, that is obtained from pig carcasses, to an internal temperature of 160 °F, followed by a 3-minute rest, and cooking whole cuts to a minimum internal temperature of 145 °F, also followed by a 3-minute rest.
