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 antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using mahi-mahi, pat dry. Halve any larger pieces to match smaller pieces. Cook until mahi-mahi reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-4 minutes per side. Fish thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner fillet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using sirloin steaks, 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 trout, pat dry. Add trout, skin-side up first, and cook until fish reaches minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.
