Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 45 degrees and Below 145 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.
Medium for venison is 160F. This is also the temperature at which any bacteria is killed. It is a very important internal temperature for ground venison. Venison burgers should always be coked to a minimum of 160F. However, if you are cooking whole cuts like stakes or roasts a lower internal temperature (140F) is recommended to enhance flavor and tenderness. Venison is delicate. Most complaints about venison being "gamey" spring from over cooking or leaving too much fat on the meet when butchering. If butchered properly and cooked to no more than medium rare the stakes or chops will not have that "gamey" flavor. If you like your meet cooked well you will not want to fry, roast, or grill whole cuts of venison. In that case adapt recipes that call for braising (cook long, slow, and wet) like bourguignon or sauerbraten. Enjoy.
Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160F (71C) for optimal safety and flavor.
Ground pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160F (71C) to ensure it is properly cooked through. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes of cooking time.
Ground beef should be cooked on the stove for about 7-10 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160F to ensure it is safe to eat.
Ground beef should be cooked in the oven for about 20-30 minutes at 350F until it reaches an internal temperature of 160F to ensure it is safe to eat.
To deep fry venison, cook it for about 3 to 5 minutes per pound at a temperature of 350°F (175°C) until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Cut the meat into smaller pieces for even cooking, and ensure the oil is hot enough to create a crispy exterior. Always monitor the cooking process to prevent overcooking, as venison can become tough if cooked too long.
How long it will last will depend upon how good it was when frozen and how it was thawed. If it was thawed at room temperature, it should be cooked immediately. If it wasn't fresh when frozen, it should be cooked immediately. If it was very fresh when frozen and was thawed in the fridge, then you should have at least a couple days to cook it.
Consuming ground beef that is slightly pink in color is generally safe as long as it has been cooked to an internal temperature of 160F to kill any harmful bacteria.
Take the temperature of it! Fish and seafood should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, ground meats should be cooked to 155 degrees Fahrenheit, whole meats such as beef roast or pork should be cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit, and poultry should be cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything you are trying to reheat should also be reheated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ground beef should be cooked in a crockpot for at least 4 hours on high heat or 6-8 hours on low heat to ensure it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
Chicken should be hung on barrel style grills for 75-90 minutes. Venison should be cooked for a similar time, but a meat thermometer should be used to ensure the meat is properly cooked.
After an hour or so at room temperature, meat should be cooked.
