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.
That is the beauty of the meat thermometer as it is an accurate way of measuring that internal temperature of the meat during cooking. How to tell when your beef, lamb, veal or goat is done. When your meat is done (be it a steak or a roast), the internal temperature of the meat will be: 1  Rare 60ÂºC. 2  Medium rare 60-65ÂºC. 3  Medium 65-70ÂºC. 4  Medium well done 70ÂºC. 5  Well done 75ÂºC.
