Burgers
Burgers are among all-time favorites, no matter what they’re made of. When it comes to beef, poultry and pork, getting rid of the harmful pathogens may be tricky. That’s because bacteria on the surface of the meat can survive when it’s first processed and get inside it, even if the exterior looks toasty and crunchy.
Color is also not a reliable sign when it comes to killing bacteria. In some cases, the meat can still appear pink even if it has been prepared at the right temperature while other times, it looks brown but not cooked properly on the inside.
Captain’s tip: Don’t start cooking any meat without a food thermometer. And remember, ground beef should be cooked at least 160° F, same as pork.
