The actual pay raise in 2012 has apparently not been calculated yet. CNN says this is an increase from 2011, in which the average employee pay raise was 2.7 percent, but Mercerâs own website says the average raise in 2011 was 2.9 percent â the same as the prediction for 2013. Moreover, Mercerâs own website announced their prediction for 2012 as 3 percent.
The Canadian Meat Packers Council recommends that internal meat temperatures should not exceed 39Â°F or 4Â°C, and other studies have suggested that the optimal storage temperature for meat is just below the freezing point.
Turn the dehydrator on to its maximum setting; typically 155Â°F. Record the temperature once it has stabilized. In order to safely dry meat at home, your oven or dehydrator must be able to maintain a temperature of at least 145Â° to 155Â°F. Do not test the temperature when the dehydrator or oven has product in it. Evaporative cooling occurs as the product loses moisture and this will give you an inaccurate temperature reading.
