Different types of food require different cooking temperatures to ensure they are safe to eat: - Poultry (chicken, turkey): 165°F (74°C) - Ground meats (beef, pork, lamb): 160°F (71°C) - Fresh beef, veal, lamb (steaks, roasts, chops): 145°F (63°C) with a 3-minute rest time - Fish: 145°F (63°C) Using a food thermometer is the most reliable way to ensure these temperatures are achieved.
