Country Boy

Mr Toad's recipe says to cook to internal tempature reaches 140. Is this corect for pork? Thanks Check back a little later, have to tend to 95 year old Dad right Now.

Country boy,[p]Trichinae is destroyed at 137°F, so 140°F is a good temp. I pull the pork loin off the grill at an internal temp of 145°F (my preference). The internal temp will continue to rise after it comes off the grill.[p]Toad's recipe is outstanding![p]Puj

Puj,
It was my pleasure. Thanks for making me curious enough to look it up. I used to work in a sausage kitchen and I do remember the inspector coming in and telling us that 137° was no longer accepted but could not remember what it was raised to. It was a long time ago.
Cheers,

Country boy,
I cook my pork roasts to an internal temp of 155-160 and make sure to let them rest for 10 minutes. I always take my temp readings from the thickest part of the roast. This seems to cook them to medium, the thinner portions cook to medium well.
make sure you calabrate your thermometer.[p]c18666v
