For those of us living after the 19th century 55 degrees is the amount of time to start killing pathogens, 60 ℃ needed to take 35 minutes, down to 14 minutes at 63 ℃, 66 ℃ is 5 min, 69 ℃ is 1 min, 72 ℃ is just half a minute, and 74 ℃ is instantaneous.
Probably worth adding that just putting a piece of chicken in the oven at 100 ℃ is obviously not going to kill all bacteria. It takes time for the heat to be transferred from the oven to the room-temperature (or colder) internals of the chicken.
I read this to mean the temperature using a meat thermometer, poking it in the thickest part.
Yeah exactly, that would be correct. The need to do something like that was what I was trying to point to.
Real talk, “pasteurize” is the stupidest most misaligned word that could have possibly been used for the process of sterilizing via heat.

It's named after the inventor of the process though. Heat things to kill bacteria.
Oh that makes sense
Oh that makes sense
It should be "Pasteurize", as it's named after Louis Pasteur. And the specific process he invented dramatically increases the shelf life of milk using very high temperatures for a very short time.... Without changing the milk texture or cooking it very much.
So pasteurization is a process that sterilises did with heat. But I don't think it works on meat.
It works just fine meat. The graph is often presented in the context of sous vide cooking of meats.
Yes. But that is cooking the meat, as in changing the taste and texture by denaturing proteins.
Pasteurized milk does not get cooked in the same manner.
Keep in mind that this graph shows core temperature. It is obvious to most but it should be written down.
Don't want someone with little to no cooking experience look at this chart and put his huge turkey for a couple of seconds in the oven at 165°F / 74°C 😅
