For those of us living after the 19th century 55 degrees is the amount of time to start killing pathogens, 60 ℃ needed to take 35 minutes, down to 14 minutes at 63 ℃, 66 ℃ is 5 min, 69 ℃ is 1 min, 72 ℃ is just half a minute, and 74 ℃ is instantaneous.

Probably worth adding that just putting a piece of chicken in the oven at 100 ℃ is obviously not going to kill all bacteria. It takes time for the heat to be transferred from the oven to the room-temperature (or colder) internals of the chicken.

I read this to mean the temperature using a meat thermometer, poking it in the thickest part.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Yeah exactly, that would be correct. The need to do something like that was what I was trying to point to.

[–] idunnololz 2 points 11 months ago

So what you're saying is if I put the thermometer into the oven I can eat the chicken raw and it will still be safe?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago

Keep in mind that this graph shows core temperature. It is obvious to most but it should be written down.

Don't want someone with little to no cooking experience look at this chart and put his huge turkey for a couple of seconds in the oven at 165°F / 74°C 😅

What is that in a normal unit?

[–] SendMePhotos 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

74.00C for 0.0 metric minutes

71.11C for 0.5 metric minute

68.33C for 1.0 metric minute

65.55C for 5.0 metric minutes

62.77C for 14.0 metric minutes

60.00C for 35.0 metric minutes

~58.33C for 82.0 metric minutes

I'm a poultrologist, and you should all be aware that this kills the chicken.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Then you have poultrygeists

[–] Taniwha420 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Another EGG?! Where the FUCK do these keep coming from?

I'm a poultronomist and it's fine. The chicken is comfortable throughout the procedure.

I'm a poultroglodyte, and you should know that my carved stone pen is very pretty

Can someone translate from freedom into logical

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm finding the way the points and the y-axis are lining up to be, dare I say, mildly infuriating. Why is 82 at 70? Why is 0 not at 0?

soooo what you're saying, is that if I fly my turkey into the sun it will be pausterized in 3^n-36 milliseconds?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

So how hard do I need to slap it to get it to that temp internally?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Not that hard you just have to do it 135000 times.

Guess I need to start limberin up my slapping arm,then

Chances are there wouldn't be any internals with a slap like that.

[–] beebarfbadger 8 points 11 months ago

But how many ounces per stone in a tenday is that?

Real talk, “pasteurize” is the stupidest most misaligned word that could have possibly been used for the process of sterilizing via heat.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 11 months ago (2 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Pasteur

It's named after the inventor of the process though. Heat things to kill bacteria.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Oh that makes sense

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Oh that makes sense

[–] mkwt 30 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It should be "Pasteurize", as it's named after Louis Pasteur. And the specific process he invented dramatically increases the shelf life of milk using very high temperatures for a very short time.... Without changing the milk texture or cooking it very much.

So pasteurization is a process that sterilises did with heat. But I don't think it works on meat.

[–] renrenPDX 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It works just fine meat. The graph is often presented in the context of sous vide cooking of meats.

Really? Why?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Pasteurized products are not sterile.

Sterilization should only be used to describe processes that leave no living microorganisms or fruitable spores behind.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

so the bird needs to hit that temp before the clock starts, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, the center of the meat

I do not eat chicken but thank you for this information!

[–] adambowles 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I do eat chicken, but thanks for your information!

I do eat information, but thank you for this chicken

Thank you for thanking me for my thankfulness!

Not with that attitude
