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?
Comments for What is the new pork done temperature? I'm just curious as to how long the pork temperature should stay at the new lower temperature set recently by the USDA? A few days ago the USDA made a change to the recommended cooking temperature for pork. The new lower done temperature is 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Used to be 160 degrees. That doesn't mean you can't still cook pork the way you like it. You may find that pink 145 degree pork just isn't appealing to you.
