| 165F |
| Perfect! |
I unearthed my instant read thermometer which I don't use very often. I decided to try it on some split chicken breasts that I was baking. So you insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the breast once it is removed from the oven. When it reads 165F you can be assured it is perfectly cooked. Do you use a meat thermometer at all? There are some that you leave inserted while baking.
Rare steak is 135F, medium rare is 145F approximately.
