Detailed explanation-1: -Ground beef is safe when cooked to an internal temperature of 160 °F as measured with a food thermometer. If you are cooking thin burgers, you can insert the probe of the thermometer at an angle, or sideways into the burger.
Detailed explanation-2: -For ground meat, the USDA recommends a temperature of between 160˚ to 165˚ as the minimum. This will give you a well-done beef burger, meaning there aren’t any signs of pink in the center.
Detailed explanation-3: -When measuring the temperature of a thin food, such as a hamburger patty, pork chop, or chicken breast, a thermistor or thermocouple food thermometer should be used, if possible.
Detailed explanation-4: -A meat thermometer should be inserted into the thickest part of the meat. For hamburger patties or chicken breasts, insert the thermometer through the side. Temperatures should be read near the end of the meat cooking time but before the meat is expected to be done (22). More items •04-Jul-2019
