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.
Note: After the resting period, the internal. temperature of the meat should reach 170ÂºF. A meat thermometer should be used to verify that a cut of lamb has reached the appropriate temperature according to the desired doneness. It should be inserted into the thickest portion of the meat.
