🌡️ Don't rely on appearance alone when checking if meat is cooked. 🌡️

Were thinking ahead to all the BBQ's coming this weekend in the office today, and the common misconceptions around them. Notably being that if meat looks cooked, it's safe to eat.

In reality, colour isn't always a reliable indicator. Factors such as lighting, marinades and cooking methods can all affect how meat appears.

A food probe thermometer takes away the guesswork and helps ensure meat has reached a safe internal temperature before serving. Always aim for 75°C.

Foodborne Illnesses crop up most during the summer, so keep yourself and others safe by ensuring you cook your meat correctly.

Do you use a food thermometer when cooking on the BBQ?
