New pork temps from the USDA

[Pandemonium]

I doubt it...and I don't think I want them to. Altho..if it's straight breast meat it would seem safer. Whole bird/legs/thighs/back... I dunno. I like them upwards of 170-80 anyway.

Yes the breast is what I meant, I didnt clarify but yes the other parts are fine at higher temps, but the boneless breatisis are better pulled at 160 imo thats what I do and they will continue to rise a few degrees im sure.

Are people really so stupid that they cannot remember more than 3 numbers? That's what it implies.

In my experience with the general public... yer battin' .500.

My retarded neighbor will not eat my pork loin because I don't cook it to death. I also refuse to cook her a filet mignon well done. She thinks I'm a snob.

Guess she hasn't seen the "wet t-shirt" ...

I been bending the rules with my loins too. 160's just too high for an unbrined normal roast loin.

Ditto

Noo no no, in advertising it is well established that if the "general public" isn't hit over the head ( or in the face) with it at least three times it won't stick!

sweet....no more pork tar-tar...

pretty much take any pork thing to 150.
supposed to be a min temp of 70 C (gets out conversion calculator)
158 - got no issue with that for ground products.
But all my cooked solid muscle goes to 150 :-) lol

This is good news. I do a lot of grilled loins for folks and many of em come back and say it's raw. when I know what the IT is.

If you're cooking these for OTHER PEOPLE. Then shouldn't you cook it how they like ?
Then you wouldn't get ANY complaints.
Just a thought

With pork now a days, it is perfectly safe to cook to medium. No need to roast the shit out of the thing and turn it into a piece of shoe leather!
