Cooking Tips:
- Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of meat without touching the bone.
- When a roast is removed from the oven, allow meat to rest 10-15 minutes before carving.
- Remember, the internal temperature of beef will continue to rise 5°-10° F
during the first 20 minutes after it is cooked.
- When grilling, remove excess fat from beef before cooking to guard against
grease fires.

Cooking Tips:
- Pork is a different meat than it was 20 years ago, leaner yet still full of
flavor. When cooking pork, it's important to use a meat thermometer to take the
internal temperature. Today's pork should be cooked to 155° F, which yields
a fully cooked yet moist, flavorful meat.

Cooking Tips:
- Veal is very lean and delicate and should be cooked more like poultry than
beef. Braising keeps veal moist, while roasting at a low temperature also works
well. Sautéing, whether in olive oil or butter, enhances both texture and
delicate flavor.
- Mild in flavor, veal is one of the most versatile choices for protein. Herbs,
vegetables, cream, butter, oils, wines, and stocks all work well in recipes featuring
veal.

Cooking Tips:
- Always use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Be careful to take the
flesh and not the bone temperature.
- Before cooking, always rinse poultry under cold (not hot or warm) water and
pat dry.
- When defrosting frozen poultry, allow it to thaw 2-3 days in a pan in your
refrigerator.
- Never thaw poultry at room temperature.
- Never stuff poultry the night before and refrigerate.
- Unlike other meat and poultry, game birds should be served immediately
rather than resting for 10-15 minutes, as they have less fat and cool off quickly.
- Always truss game birds for roasting, which will reduce their shrinkage and
allow them to cook more evenly.
