“I want to keep my family safe.”
“I used to overcook my food. Now my food is juicier – not dry as a bone.”
People all over the country are taking Thermy’s advice. They’re using a food thermometer to check the temperature of everyday foods — like hamburgers, pork chops, and chicken breasts.
Most people think they know when food is “done” just by “eyeballing it.” They look at it and trust their experience.
Experience is good, but it sometimes can be misleading. For instance, cooking by color is definitely misleading. Meat color — pink or brown — can fool you!
How do you know when your hamburger is cooked?
Because it’s brown inside?
Think about this … 1 out of every 4 hamburgers turns brown in the middle BEFORE it has reached a safe internal temperature, according to recent USDA research.
Use a food thermometer.
Keep your family safe.
Be a better cook.
