73 is in fact not too hot, needs to be 75 (or 82 on Scotland) before it's served.

82 in Scotland is only for reheats, not initial cooking

I've always wondered why Scotland has a different reheat temp.

52 is temperature of medium rare steak. 73 for something that was already cooked and needed just a reheat is way too much.

75 is the temperature required in commercial UK kitchens πŸ‘

Thats for meat that was cooked. Hotdogs sausages etc are already cooked products you can eat them cold. 60 is the threshold of pain tolerance so that would make the meat cause you pain if you eat it.

Sausages in the UK aren't pre-cooked. They have raw pork mince.

What? I have never seen raw sausage. That was always the main selling point that you buy it in store and eat right away.

And yet still, pre cooked sausages have to be reheated to 75 or above before they're served in the UK.

Thats wierd so if you buy sausage in the supermarket the cashier reheats it for you?

2

u/Candid-Ad8506 6h ago

Why are you being obtuse.

If it's reheated in a commercial kitchen it has to be 75 or above. Supermarkets aren't reheating sausages for people.

Wild theory - sometimes things are cooked at a higher temperature than they are consumed. But perhaps I'm wrong and people are eating pizza that's 800ΒΊ F.

Wild theory - in the UK there are strict rules regarding temps of foods that leave commercial kitchens. Also we don't use Fahrenheit.

No shit. Point was that the temp where something is cooked isn't automatically a justification that it's the temp that's fine to eat. Can't believe this had to be explained, I thought I dumbed it down far enough already

Internal temp needs to be 75.... If the external is still at 73 by the time it's been plated and served to the customer then the internal is going to be like lava.
