There’s been feuds/disagreements online especially, on Twitter about whether or not you should clean your meat but, does anyone know the criteria required to cook their meat?


Remember these Tweets:


"@CDCgov Don't wash your raw chicken! Washing can spread germs from the chicken to other food or utensils in the kitchen go,USA.gov/xmTqz" - Source: GossipThis


" @RaisingSelf I rebuke this. Where the Caribbean folk with the hot water, vinegar &lime that the ancestors who lived to be as old as Sarah & Abraham been using?

The CDC informs us to not wash our meat and poultry but, does anyone know what they say about the temperatures we cook our meat to?

Cooking ground beef to 160°F kills E. coli germs rapidly.” - Source: CDC


Whether people agree or disagree with the FDA or CDC, companies like Beck & Bulow have a convenient chart that contains more detailed information such as the temperature of how pulled meat or white and dark meat should be cooked. The best part about this is that these images are printable so, anyone can staple it to a cookbook or place it on the fridge for those looking to learn and others who never knew.
