Mondo offers guideline-cooking
times with products that we sell. These are used
to give a rough estimate on the amount of cooking
time needed to prevent products being put on too
late and to ensure that the product is cooked thoroughly.
Further to those instructions Mondo’s offers
this table as a guide to those who use thermometers
to enhance their cooking skills and ensure consistency
and perfection throughout their cooking.
Mondo’s suggested cooking
temperatures for perfection:
Beef 58° C
Lamb 60° C
Pork 65° C
Poultry 65° C
(The temperatures above are suited
for those that enjoy their products moist and not
overly done.)
For those that like their products well done:
Beef 60/70° C
Lamb 60/70° C
Pork 65/75° C
Poultry 65/75° C
(Find
in this scale a temperature that suits your personal
taste.
If the product is within these ranges it will be
well cooked.)
To use the probe efficiently
we offer the following instructions. Probe the product
in the deepest part of the product you can find
for all solid meat products (e.g. a Piece of Topside
or Rump that is boneless) and boneless rolled products.
Bone in products like Poultry should be probed in
the deepest part of the breast and also in the deepest
part of the thigh meat. Other Bone in products like
a leg of pork etc. should be probed in the deepest
part of the flesh away from the bone as heat travels
faster through the bone than it does the meat.
Using Mondo’s
suggested cooking times we suggest that an hour
before the end of the cooking time you probe the
product to check the internal temperature. If the
temperature is close (being about 5/10°
C) to the recommended then check every 10/20 minutes
until it reaches the target temperature. If the
temperature is significantly lower (e.g. 10+°
C lower) then boost the oven temperature by 20°
C and check the product after 30 minutes and then
every 10/20 minutes until it reaches the target
temperature.
With
your probe and our instruction you will be blessing
us for a perfectly cooked product as your guests
comment on your Cooking Perfection.
Please
Note:
Mondo Butchers provide
quality products to their customers and always extend
services beyond the call of your everyday butcher.
As many of our customers know we do offer cooking
suggestions for all products that we sell. As with
any instructions you receive these are tailored
to suite the majority of the public therefore we
must ensure that products are cooked through as
the majority call for well done. Mondo’s Guidelines
are suggested times and methods only and should
be tailored to personal satisfaction. Many externals
that are beyond Mondo’s Control can affect
time guidelines. These include:
Whether the
oven is Pre-Heated.
Whether the
equipment used is a Conventional, Fan Forced (Convection),
Webber, Brinkman or other oven type.
The Temperature
of the product when it is placed in the oven.
The ambient
room temperature and its effect on the oven’s
efficiency.
Whether the
product is covered with al foil or not.
If the oven
is electric with heat elements, how close the
product is placed to overhead heat elements.
If the product
is placed on a rack in the oven tray or directly
into the oven tray.
How often nosy
and hungry guests open the oven door as their
mouths begin to water from the smell of a Mondo
product roasting away in the oven.
