Ground beef is 155 for 15 seconds . Poultry is 165 . seafood and steaks is 145 . pork, beef , veal , and lamb roast 145 for 4 minutes .



Wow, cooking a steak to 145 is a waste of good meat. It is not so much a factor of temp as it is how much time spent at which temp that guides food safety.

I routinely eat very rare hamburger that is cooked to an internal temp of 132 without a problem.

By the book, that's a dangerous practice.

Ground meat by it's very nature is a way different animal than steak. Many people don't understand this.
