should be red inside. Medium is pink and
gray indicates well done.

with clear juice.
Poultry: Juices should be clear yellow
when cooked. Legs should move freely.

in color and flake easily.
To check internal temperature of various
meats and poultry, use a microwave or
conventional
meat thermometer after
removing meat from the oven. Insert the
thermometer,
