Enter directly home from the store and refrigerate within two hours and certainly earlier (less than one hour) if the outdoor temperature is greater than 90 degrees. FREEZE of ground meat and poultry if they will not be used within 2 days and other meat from 4 to 5 days.

When you carry to a picnic or even outside, make sure that the meats remain in an ice chest less than 40 degrees and stay cool until you are ready to cook. Keep the cooling of the direct sunlight to avoid hot spots. Also make sure that all drinks are in a separate cooler so that raw meats do not contaminate drinking containers. Make sure you use different utensils and plates when handling uncailed meat relative to the handling of cooked items to serve. Always wash your hands thoroughly after putting on meats for cooking and before handling the finished product.

Cook meats at their appropriate temperatures to ensure correct cooking. Use a quality meat thermometer and check thick portions and never near a bone, grease or gray. The temperatures of internal meat are as follows:

Poultry: 165 DEG F
Floor beef: 160 degrees F
Beef, calf and lamb:
Rare average 145 deg f
Average 160 degrees f
Pork: 160 degrees F.

When smoking meat, make sure that smoking temperatures are held at 250 degrees to 300 degrees until the above internal temperatures are reached. If pre-cooking, make sure to start your final cooking just after pre-cooking, without delay. Make sure to keep the hot food at 140 degrees F or more until serving. If the outer weather is greater than 90 DEF DEF, do not leave the food set for more than one hour. Make sure to refrigerate the remains within two hours of service and more than one hour if more than 90 defe F.
