Temperature (meat)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Temperature is a gauge of how thoroughly cooked a cut of meat isbased on the color, juiciness and internal temperature when cooked.The gradations of cooking are most often used in reference to beef(especially steak and roasts) but are also applicable to lamb, pork,poultry, veal, and seafood (especially fish).
Gradations, their description, and the associated temperature rangesvary regionally from cuisine to cuisine and in local practice and
terminology. The table below is from an American reference book[1]
and pertains to beef and lamb.
In lieu of gradations and ranges, the United States Department ofAgriculture recommends a temperature of at least 63 C (145 F) forbeef, veal, lamb steaks and roasts in order to prevent foodborne
illness.[2]

The interior of a cut of meat will still increase in temperature 35 C (510 F) after it is removed from an ovenor other heat source. The meat should be allowed to "rest" before being served, which allows for the juices inthe center to return to the edges. The whole meat, and the center will also continue to cook slightly as the hotexterior continues to warm the comparatively cooler interior. The exception is if the meat has been prepared in asous-vide process, as it will already be at temperature equilibrium. The temperatures indicated above are thepeak temperature in the cooking process, so the meat should be removed from the heat source a few degreescooler.

Color
As meat is cooked, it turns from red to pink to gray to brown toblack (if burnt), and the amount of red liquid, myoglobin (not blood),and other juices decreases. The color change is due to changes in theoxidation of the iron atom of the heme group in the myoglobin protein:raw meat is red due to myoglobin protein in the muscles, nothemoglobin from blood (which also contains a heme group, hence thecolor). Prior to cooking, the iron atom is in a +2 oxidation state, andbound to a dioxygen molecule (O2), with a red color. As cooking
proceeds, it loses an electron, moving to a +3 oxidation state, andcoordinating with a water molecule (H2O), turning brown in the
process.
Searing raises the meats surface temperature to 150 C, yielding browning via different reactions:caramelization of sugars, and the Maillard reaction of amino acids. Raised to a high enough temperature, meatblackens from burning.
Drying
Well done cuts, in addition to being brown, are drier and contain little or no juices. Note that searing (cookingthe exterior at a high temperature) in no way "seals in the juices" water evaporates at the same or higher rates
as unseared meat.[3] Searing does play an important role, however, in browning, a crucial contributor to flavourand texture.
