Space Shuttle. The three Space Shuttle Main Engines, in conjunction with the Solid Rocket Boosters, provide the thrust to lift the Orbiter off the ground for the initial ascent. The main engines continue to operate for 8.5 minutes after launch, the duration of the Shuttle's powered flight.
Internal temp? I'm making http://www.food52.com/recipe... and it's a 9 pound pork shoulder that's been in the oven for 13 hours and has reached an internal temperature of 145. I've never cooked one before. Do I pull it out when the internal temperature reaches 160? Or does it need to continue cooking above that temperature to become meltingly tender?
Pork is considered done when it reaches an average interior temperature of 75.9Â°C (170Â°F).. 75.9 Â°C. Encyclopedia Americana. 1924: 413. It is necessary, therefore, that pork is cooked to an internal temperature of 176Â°F (77Â°C) for fresh loin roasts to 185Â°F (85Â°C) for other large fresh cuts. Cured and smoked products should reach an internal temperature of 160Â°F to 170Â°F (72Â°C to 85Â°C). 77â85 Â°C. Reichl, Ruth.
