Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using filets mignon, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Tomato Butter

    Stem kale and coarsely chop.

    Halve tomatoes.

    Stem and mince thyme.

    In a mixing bowl, combine tomato puree and softened butter. Set aside.

    Pat pork dry and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and thyme.

  2. 2

    Crisp the Bacon

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add bacon to hot pan and stir occasionally until crisp, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer bacon to towel-lined plate. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork Chops

    Return pan used to cook bacon to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add pork chops to hot pan and cook until golden-brown and chops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.

    Pork thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner. Remove from burner. Rest, 3 minutes.
