Cooking Tips:
Pork is a different meat than it was 20 years ago, leaner yet still full of
flavor. When cooking pork, it's important to use a meat thermometer to take the
internal temperature. Today's pork should be cooked to 155° F, which yields
a fully cooked yet moist, flavorful meat.

Cooking Tips:
Veal is very lean and delicate and should be cooked more like poultry than
beef. Braising keeps veal moist, while roasting at a low temperature also works
well. Sautéing, whether in olive oil or butter, enhances both texture and
delicate flavor.
Mild in flavor, veal is one of the most versatile choices for protein. Herbs,
vegetables, cream, butter, oils, wines, and stocks all work well in recipes featuring
veal.

Cooking Tips:
Always use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Be careful to take the
flesh and not the bone temperature.
Before cooking, always rinse poultry under cold (not hot or warm) water and
pat dry.
When defrosting frozen poultry, allow it to thaw 2-3 days in a pan in your
refrigerator.
Never thaw poultry at room temperature.
Never stuff poultry the night before and refrigerate.
Unlike other meat and poultry, game birds should be served immediately
rather than resting for 10-15 minutes, as they have less fat and cool off quickly.
Always truss game birds for roasting, which will reduce their shrinkage and
allow them to cook more evenly.
