A simple tool for juicy, perfectly cooked meat and fish!


Let’s face it—determining if your fish is fully cooked can often feel like a guessing game. This is especially true with thicker pieces, where it's challenging to know if the inside is done or still raw. Some people even avoid cooking fish entirely because of this uncertainty!

But there's a secret weapon that will instantly boost your kitchen confidence: šŸ‘‰ A cooking thermometer!

No more slicing open chicken to check. No more poking steak multiple times. And no more overcooking expensive cuts of meat into dry, chewy disappointments. 😩

With a thermometer, you can achieve perfect doneness every time—whether it's fish, chicken, pork, or steak. You'll know precisely when the inside is tender, juicy, and safe to eat.

🄩 Internal Temperatures for Perfectly Cooked Meat & Fish


šŸ“ Always insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat or fish for an accurate reading.


1. Beef

  • Medium rare: 50–52°C (122–126°F) – brown outside, reddish inside

  • Medium: 60°C (140°F) – brown outside, pink center

  • Medium well: 65°C (149°F) – mostly cooked with just a hint of pink

2. Pork 🐷

  • 63°C (145°F) – Hold for 3 minutes for safe consumption

3. Chicken šŸ“

  • 74°C (165°F) – Fully cooked and safe to eat

4. Fish 🐟

  • 63°C (145°F) – The flesh will be opaque and flake easily with a fork


šŸ§‘šŸ»ā€šŸ³ Why it matters
