Internal Temperature Meat Chart

Use this chart and a food thermometer to ensure that meat, poultry, seafood, and other cooked foods reach a safe minimum internal temperature.

For maximum food safety, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends 165° F for all poultry; 160° F for ground beef, lamb, and pork; and 145° F, with a 3-minute resting period, for all other types of beef, lamb, and pork. Also, review the USDA Food Safety Standards.

Instructions for Use

Before First Use

1. Read all material, warning stickers, and labels.
2. Remove all packing materials, labels, and stickers.
3. Hand-washing is recommended. Wash all parts and accessories used in the cooking process with warm, soapy water.
4. Never wash or submerge the cooking appliance in water. Wipe the inside and outside of the cooking appliance with a clean, moist cloth. Rinse with a warm, moist cloth.
5. Before cooking food, preheat the appliance for a few minutes to allow the manufacturer’s protective coating of oil to burn off. Wipe the appliance with warm, soapy water and a dishcloth after this burn-in cycle.

Tips

• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Large sizes or quantities of food may require a longer cooking time than smaller sizes or quantities.
• Flipping or turning food halfway through the cooking process ensures that the food is evenly cooked.
• Adding a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding oil, do so just before cooking and add only a small amount to the potato.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the PowerXL Air Fryer Grill Plus.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• A baking tin or oven dish can be placed on the rack inside the PowerXL AirFryer Grill Plus when cooking foods such as cakes or quiches. Using a tin or dish is also recommended when cooking fragile or filled foods.
