so you dont get sick
Most meats, like hamburger, should be brown. If you want them burnt like some prefer, then they should be black on the outside, but still brown on the inside. Also, it depends on whether you want them cooked rare, medium, or well done. If you want them cooked rare, then probably brown on the outside and some pink on the inside. If you want them cooked medium, then brown on the outside and hardly any pink on the inside. If you want them well done, then brown on the outside and inside. Cooking meat is definitely a good skill to learn.
A brined turkey should be cooked for about 13-15 minutes per pound at 325F until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F to ensure it is perfectly done.
Spinach should be cooked for about 3-5 minutes until it is wilted and bright green to be perfectly done.
Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145F (63C) to ensure it is perfectly done.
A roast should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145F (63C) to ensure it is perfectly done.
Meatballs should be cooked for about 20-25 minutes in an oven at 375F to ensure they are perfectly done.
Roast beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145F (63C) to ensure it is perfectly done.
The roast beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145F (63C) to ensure it is perfectly done.
An omelette is a dish made with eggs and cheese, and often chopped vegetables and/or meats. A basic omelette is made by whipping eggs and cream together, frying until nearly stiff, adding a layer of shredded cheese, folding half the egg over the top then heating until the cheese is melted. Adding sautéed vegetables or cooked chopped meats with the cheese is often done. A "Spanish" omelette is more similar to a frittata, where the vegetables (usually peppers and onions) are sautéed then the egg mixture and cheese are added and cooked (fried), [a frittata is baked] until done. Again, meats can be added. A quiche is an egg pie made similar to the frittata except the egg mixture is placed in a pie shell before baking.
A steak should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160F (71C) to achieve a well-done level of doneness.
Chili should be cooked for at least 1-2 hours to ensure it is perfectly done, allowing the flavors to meld together and the ingredients to fully cook.
Any meat left at room temperature for over 2 hours will be subjected to bacteria. Raw meat should not be left out over an hour. If you have ever had food poisoning before, you won't take any chances!
