All things BBQ in and around Denver, Colorado is what I want to promote. It seems like not one website has listings for all the BBQ joints in and around Denver. So I made it my mission to scout out and search for all the BBQ joints in and around Denver and promote them on my site.

Grilling Temperatures for Doneness

June 12, 2009

Many BBQ'ers are not aware of when their meat is completely cooked, meaning it is ready to come off the grill and ready to eat. To help those that need some inside tips I am going to share with you the ideal temperatures in which your meat should reach as you remove it from the grill.

Chicken and Turkey:
breast 160 to 165 F
thigh 170 to 175 F

 

Beef and Lamb:
rare 120 to 130 F
medium rare 130 to 135 F
medium 140 to 150 F
medium well 155 to 165 F

Veal:
medium 140 to 155 F

Pork:
medium 140 F
medium well 155 to 165 F

Fish:
medium rare 120 F
medium 135 F

The firmer the meat is when touched, the more done it is.

When using a thermometer you need to make sure that it is cleaned and calibrated before using it. There are 2 different methods used to calibrate the thermometer, one is using ice and the other is boiling water. Allfoodbusiness.com has a great article on how to use each method which can be found at: http://www.allfoodbusiness.com/calibrating_thermometers.php

BBQ Fact:

There are over 20,000 BBQ competitions in North America every year!
