SUGGESTED GRILLING CHART
Use these suggested cooking times purely as a guide. They’re for fresh
or fully defrosted food. When cooking frozen foods, add 2 – 3 minutes
for seafood, and 3 – 6 minutes for meat and poultry, depending on the
thickness and density of the food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness
and cut being used. Check food is cooked through before serving. If in
doubt, cook it a bit more. Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince,
burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Use a cooking thermometer as a test
for doneness. If the food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid
overcooking the food. Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout. When
cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.
USDA recommends the following guidelines
Please note:
To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends
the following guidelines. Using a meat thermometer cook test for doneness
by inserting the meat thermometer into the center of the food being cooked
and make sure the thermometer is not touching the bone.
