Detailed explanation-1: -A food thermometer can be used to check food is cooked thoroughly, food should be 75°C or above in the thickest part. Some foods change colour when they are cooked so you can check this too. Always check your food is steaming hot in the middle. Make sure frozen vegetables are cooked before you eat them.
Detailed explanation-2: -Always reheat food until it is steaming hot all the way through (you should only do this once). Do not put food into hot holding without reheating it properly first. Check that reheated food is steaming hot all the way through.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dial thermometers Insert stem at least 2 inches into the thickest part of the food without touching fat or bone. The temperature should register in about 15 to 20 seconds. Insert sideways into thin foods like hamburgers and chicken breasts.
