The following is a guide for cooking roasts, hamburgers, steaks, and chops. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of roasts after the minimum cooking time has elapsed. Roasts should be removed from the oven when they are 15 to 20 degrees below the desired temperature. The internal temperature will rise during the 20-minute standing time.
Check hamburgers, steaks and chops by cutting into them and noting the color of the meat; slightly under cook as meat will continue to cook during the 5-minute standing time.
