Why do you cook meat at 145 degrees fah renheit?

Answer 1

Pork must be cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit because of reducing bacterial growth. The internal temperature of the pork must be a specific minimum temperature. There are parasites and bacteria that risk being ingested if the internal temperature is not high enough.

Answer 2

3 mins "at 145 F." The more pork, the longer it will take the full mass to reach 145 F. The clock doesn't start running until all of the pork reaches 145 F. Only once that happens can you then begin the 3 minute count.

Answer 3

145 is the temperature at which Adam and Eve roasted their first kill after being banished from the Garden of Eden. After taking a bite of meat for the first time in her earthly life, Eve exclaimed, "Holy Sh** Adam. This f***ing duck is hot!" Adam, who was drenched in blood from his killing rampage that day, laughed at Eve's dirty mouth, then made love to Eve for the first time.

But, 145 alone means nothing unless time is added into the equation. For example, a steak must be heated at 155 degrees for at least 15 seconds for bacteria such as E. coli 0157:H7 and Salmonella. If you increase the temperature to 157, then the time can be reduced. If you stick your meat a couple inches from the sun, then you can be assured that all bacteria will be killed with 1 second naturally.

Answer 4

Pork must be cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit because of reducing bacterial growth. The internal temperature of the pork must be a specific minimum temperature. There are parasites and bacteria that risk being ingested if the internal temperature is not high enough.

Answer 5

This temperature will kill germs that may be in the meat.

Answer 6

Pork must be cooked to an internal temperature of 63c/145f, plus 3 minutes resting time to avoid food poisoning. Bacteria from the pig can enter your body through digesting uncooked pork.

Answer 7

So that we can be sure that it is cooked fully and internally. If not, we could get a disease called salmonella:(
