FOOD SAFETY:

The food safety branch of the USDA advises cooking ground meat patties to an

internal temperature of 160º F to assure a safely cooked product. Tests have shown the

color of the patty is no indication of doneness. A thermometer must be used to assure

that the correct temperature has been reached. A digital thermometer is one of the best

thermometer to use because the temperature is measured at the bottom ½” of the stem-a

necessity when measuring thin cuts of meats.
