starting temperature and
your preference of doneness
will affect broiling times.
This guide is based on meats
at refrigerator temperature.
†The U.S. Department of Agriculture
says “Rare beef is popular, but you
should know that cooking it to only
140°F means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source:
Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide,
USDA Rev. June 1985.)
