Grill Temperature Doneness Guide

Pull meat 2 to 3 C (about 5 F) below target; carryover heat finishes it as it rests.

A thermometer takes the guesswork out of grilling, and this guide gives you the target internal temperatures for the meats you cook most. Pick a protein and see the pull temperatures for each level of doneness in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, from a rare steak up to well done, plus the food safety minimums for chicken, pork, and ground meat. Because temperature keeps rising as meat rests, the smart move is to take it off the heat a few degrees below your target and let carryover cooking finish the job, which this guide notes for you. These figures follow widely published safe cooking and doneness references. It is a quick lookup you can pull up at the grill, and it works entirely in your browser with no network, so it loads fast and stays available offline.
