Don't expect that you'll enjoy taking oregano oil, even if you love Greek food. It has a much more potent taste in oil form, so be prepared! Because oregano oil in its pure form is so strong, it should only be used when diluted; try a ratio of one part oregano oil to three parts carrier oil, such as olive oil.
To pasteurize meat, USDA and my chart give us minimum temperatures, like 165Â°F for poultry and 145Â°F for fish. But if you dig into the data by USDA scientists, you learn that this is a distillation of the facts designed to make things easy for the public. Pasteurization of meat is not just a matter of temperature.
Cook ground beef, pork, chicken or turkey to a temperature of 165 degrees (74 Celsius). Because the meat is ground, contaminating bacteria might be present throughout the meat. It's therefore never safe to serve ground meat that's less than well done.. Cook most fish to a temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 Celsius). Game fish such as tuna or marlin should only be cooked to an internal temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit (52 Celsius) or it will dry out and become unpalatable.
