For medium-rare filet mignon, pull the steak off the heat at 125°F (52°C) and rest it 8 minutes — it will finish at about 133°F (56°C). Carryover cooking raises a 1.5–2 inch filet by 6–10°F after it leaves the pan, so the pull temperature is always below the temperature you want to eat at. The USDA-recommended safe minimum for whole cuts of beef is 145°F (63°C) followed by a 3-minute rest.
Baked salmon timings by fillet thickness at 400°F, plus the internal temperature to pull it at so it is not dry by the time it reaches the table.
Oven times for chicken drumsticks at 400°F and 425°F, the internal temperature dark meat actually wants, and how to get the skin crisp rather than rubbery.
A 25-minute lemon garlic chicken pasta that emulsifies into a glossy sauce with no cream, using the pasta water ratio that makes it hold together.
Oven times for pork chops by thickness and cut, the internal temperature to pull at, and why 145°F replaced the old well-done advice.
How to pan-sear salmon so the skin shatters and the centre stays moist: pan temperature, the 70/30 time split, and the press that stops it curling.
