What's for dinner tonight? Dinner ideas?

Doesn't pork need to go to 165f IT?
Only if you like it dry and farted out. 🤪 🍺 The USDA revised cooked pork temps from 160 to 145.

Like Rusty Jakes says, by the time to get it to the table, it will be at 150 internal. It will be juicy and slightly pink, but oh so tender.

I took the loin to 147f, let it rest for about 10 min. Was juicy and not tough. Its gonna make some darn good sammichs! 😀

Nice! I'm cooking one for New Years day to serve with sauerkraut. A new years day tradition in my house.

You don't really notice it unless you look at what is written. You wouldn't think these cuts need that tenderizing
 
They didn't have tiny holes in them did they??? So what way do you thing they were tenderized?
And I'm with you... WhyTF are you tenderizing those cuts of beef for.... IDIOTS?

Blade Tenderized ??? what is that suppose to mean... I got some Googlin to do I guess...
 
I just buy the vacuum packs (like a 7 Lb Rib Eye) or a whole Top sirloin and slice my own then put in Vacuum bags in Fridge or Freezer.
That way I know that there is no blade tenderizing going on. Read the Label, they do not do anything with the vacuum packs...

The holes sometimes aren't visible. But mechanically tenderized is driving metal blades into the meat to break the tissues, making the meat seem more tender. The process pushes surface bacteria into the meat so you need to cook it more to ensure a temperature is reached to kill the bacteria.
The pictures I uploaded were found online and show USDA prime, so I am assuming it is happening south of the border too.
At Costco it isn't on their large cryovac meats, like @John S. Said above, just on the portion packed beef. Wal-Mart I couldn't say what they do it on. I have only purchased the prime ribs there when they are on sale.
No idea why there is a need to do the premium cuts of meats. But cooking a roast or steak to 145 before taking it off may be okay for some, but for me that is beyond done.

Exactly, that's why I was shocked it was being done to prime cuts of meat...

I don't even puncture meat with a probe until the surface is pretty well cooked for that same reason!!!

I'll have to break the reading glasses out while shopping now... 🥸
 
Meatloaf goin on the Branson 20 tonight.
