What is Meat Doneness Temperature Chart?
The Meat Doneness Temperature Chart lists the internal temperatures that matter for beef, lamb, pork, poultry, fish and ground beef, side by side in Celsius and Fahrenheit with USDA rest-time guidance. A thermometer lookup turns any reading into the doneness it represents for the selected meat, so mid-cook checks are one glance instead of a web search.
Key Benefits
- Both units side by side, matching any recipe or thermometer
- USDA-safe minimums for poultry, ground meat, fish and whole cuts
- Rest-time guidance that keeps cooked meat juicy
- Instant doneness lookup from a live thermometer reading
- Offline reference with no ads, popups or tracking
Common Use Cases
- •Grilling steaks to each guest’s requested doneness

How to Use a Meat Temperature Chart
- Pick the meat: Select what you are cooking. Whole beef and lamb follow the full doneness ladder, while poultry, ground meat and fish sit at their USDA-safe temperatures.
- Check the temperatures: Read the internal temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit, with the rest time each cut needs after coming off the heat.
- Look up a reading: Mid-cook, type what your thermometer shows. The lookup names the doneness that reading represents, or tells you to keep cooking.
