About this tool

Food keeps cooking from stored heat after you take it off the heat. This is called carryover cooking. Thicker cuts and hotter methods gain more, so pulling a few degrees early lets the food settle at your target instead of past it.

Pull Point gives general cooking guidance, not food-safety or medical advice. Temperatures follow USDA guidelines unless a lower chef’s target is labeled, and lower targets carry more risk. When in doubt, cook it further.
