* The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food
poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. August 2017) The lowest temperature recommended by
the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well-done 170°F (77ºC).
All cook times shown are after 2 minutes of preheating. Broiling will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place the food further away from
the broil element. Watch food carefully to prevent burning.
