Meat questions, answered

What are easy meat recipes for beginners
Start with ground beef tacos, grilled steak, or slow cooker pulled pork. They need few ingredients, forgive small mistakes, and build the basic skills of seasoning and searing.
How do I know when meat is fully cooked
Use an instant-read thermometer. Cook poultry to 165F, ground beef to 160F, pork chops to 145F, and pull steaks at 130F for medium-rare. A thermometer beats guessing every time.
Which cuts are best for slow cooking
Tougher, well-marbled cuts like beef chuck and pork shoulder are ideal. Their connective tissue melts over a long, gentle cook into tender, flavorful meat.
Should I let meat rest after cooking
Yes. Resting steaks, chops, roasts, and chicken for 5 to 10 minutes lets the juices settle back into the meat so they stay in the meat instead of running onto the board.
