Cooking Times for Beef, Pork, Chicken and Fish

First thing first ~ source~
FDA Center for Food

Do not roast food at temperatures below 325° F - bacteria may grow while cooking at this low temperature. Never cook a Thanksgiving turkey overnight in the oven below 325° F.

Now that is out of the way :) lets move on. I wanted to make a very easy fast chart for cooking time lines. I remember when I first really started cooking and never knew what temperature to cook meat at or for how long.. I would run around trying to find my betty Crocker cook book that was like 10 yrs old that was handed down to me in the first place JUST to see how long and how hot to put the pork in the oven! Ok so I still some times have to do this LOL. So this was my motivation to make this list.
I never found it helpful to be told " cook it to 160 degrees" hmm ok I don’t have a meat thermometer and if I did were would I stick it?? So I have always tried to find the "cook at 350 for 40 min" and ok if I cut into it and its red… BACK in the oven it goes!

Just to be totally correct though if you have a meat thermometer its not a bad idea to use it:)

I have added links below also so that if you want some more in-depth info you would have it for all the other stuff. I'm lazy and just want to post the "main" stuff you might need to look up ;) nice of me hu!

beef roast
oven 325* 30min per pound ~internal 160 degrees~
….more on beef….

Pork roast
oven 350* 20-30 min per pound ~internal 160 degrees~
….more on pork…..

Whole Chicken
oven 350* 30 min per pound works perfect for me ~internal 160 degrees ( see a trend with this?)
….more on chicken….

fish... tricky tricky one! basic guide line i found
oven 230* 5-7 min per cm for fresh ~ 10-12 min per cm for frozen
( my favorite ? sear the fish in a hot pan first then pop into the oven at 350* for 5-7 min to finish. you have a great crunch on the outside and flaky on the inside.. but careful i do tend to like my stuff VERY well cooked )
.... all the ways to cook fish here ...

I'm sorry i can not be helpful on sea food. I never cook it and have no earthly idea what to do with it! fish is the only thing that i some times try to cook. I hope this was vaguely helpful and that the links provide the "real" info for you!
