Welcome to today’s lesson, where we discussed cooking meat, focusing on safety considerations and cooking times. It’s essential to understand that cooking times differ based on factors like the size of the meat piece, whether it’s fresh or frozen, and the cooking method used, such as grilling or baking. We also covered the importance of checking if the meat is properly cooked, emphasizing the use of a meat thermometer for accuracy, while noting that experienced cooks can often gauge doneness by the feel of the meat.
