Yes provided the interior of the meet reaches more than 75 degrees. However, this will not necessarily make the meet safe to eat. This is because while the bacteria may be killed some of the toxins they produced while alive may still be active. The toxins (especially in botulism) can harm you,

Which one of the following may be contaminated with harmful bacteria raw meat uht cream cooked rice pasteurised milk?
Raw meat may be contaminated with harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella or E. coli. These bacteria can cause foodborne illnesses if the meat is not handled or cooked properly. It is important to cook raw meat thoroughly to kill any potential bacteria before consuming it.
Temperature that is high enough to kill most harmful bacteria?
Bacteria can live at a WIDE range of temperatures, depending on what species you are talking about. Generally, it is recommended to bring bacteria-laden water to a rolling boil for at least 5 minutes to kill off all bacteria. Freezing them is generally not a good way to kill them, just stop them from growing. There are bacteria called thermophiles which can withstand very high temperatures for a very long period of time. But most will be killed in a nice pot of boiling water. Bacteria, like E. coli, that can contaminate meats are killed before eating by cooking the meat to an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F. Cook ground meats until brown all the way through and juices run clear.
What bacteria often lives in eggs and meat?
Salmonella
Is a process that uses gamma rays to eliminate harmful bacteria in meat and poultry?
Irradiation Is a process that uses gamma rays to eliminate harmful bacteria in meat and poultry.
Can you kill prions by sterilization?
No, cooking does not destroy or disable prions. If you were able to cook a meat that contains prions to the point where the prions were disabled, the meat would be rendered inedible.You can use chemicals mixed with heat to destroy prions, but that's not a process you would want to subject your food to.
Will slow cooking meat cook out all of the bacteria on questionable meat?
It will kill a lot of bacteria, but it does not sterilize the food.
Can you cook out bacteria from cooked meats?
Yes it dose, though you need to get the meat to a sertain temp befor consumption. The temps rang from 140 to 250 degrees. If the meat is under 140 degrees then it hits the danger zone where the meat still has living bacteria in it. If the meat is moldy, then cooking it wont help, through it away.
If raw meat is left at room temperture and grows bacteria does cooking it kill the bacteria?
Cooking will kill a lot of vegetative cells, but cooking does not sterilize the food.
Why is it important that frozen meat like chicken is thawed out and cooked propely?
Any meat may have been contaminated with bacteria such as salmonella before being frozen. Thorough cooking will kill any bacteria present but if the meat is not completely thawed such bacteria may not be brought to a temperature sufficiently high to kill them. Cooking times are based on starting from a raw but unfrozen state. If the meat is still frozen then times recommended will not be sufficient to complete the coking process.
What exact temperature do you have to cook grilled chicken breast on?
A good rule of thumb cooking any meat is 350 degrees for one hour per pound of meat. You will still need to check the internal temperature and make sure it's above 160 degrees. (To kill any bacteria)
What is the principles of cooking meat?
It kills all of the bacteria.
Will cooking ground beef kill bacteria in the beef?
Yes, a slow cooker will cook meat at 200-300 degrees F. Much slower than most other means thus the name slow cooker. Anyways, bacteria which spoils meats cannot survive above 165 degrees F which a slow cooker will more than adequately do.
Does cooking kill the bacteria from an improperly defrosted turkey?
Cooking to the correct temperature for the correct amount of time will kill the bacteria present in an improperly defrosted turkey. The turkey must be cooked to a temperature of at least 165 degrees to kill the bacteria present in the Turkey. Bacteria can be present on the surface of the meat, in the meat itself and can be injected into the meat if the Turkey is injected or if the meat is cut. The tube of the syringe used to inject the brine/flavor mix will pick up bacteria on the surface and a knife edge can (and likely will) carry the bacteria into the meat. Note that bacteria are generally all killed once the temperature exceeds 141 degrees for at least one minute. When the Turkey is cooked the temperature varies from one part of the Turkey to another. That is why the USDA and virtually all respected sites recommend thorough cooking. HOWEVER, some strains of bacterial produce Toxins that can cause illness. These Toxins in some cases are "heat stable" and can still make you very sick. A number of commentators have also noted that human beings have existed for a much longer time than refrigeration and we have survived. Nobody however suggests that it is a good idea to practice unsafe food handling and cooking procedures. Improperly thawed turkey is just that. Improperly thawed.
How do you keep meat warm while it rests?
Food should be kept at or over 140 Degrees to prevent growth of harmful bacteria.
What are some hygiene rules for cooking with meat?
Eat a entire potato before cooking with meat. This way the potassium in it will come out on your hands and prevents the meat from being germy and kill you.
Why should you not eat uncooked meat?

Would cooking kill the organisms that turn meat bad?
