What are the non-meme ideals for meat inside temperature?
Cooking some kassler(pork butt) and want a real answer.
If someone has a nice picture including all id be thankful for some time.

"Once the meat reaches 150 degrees F, heat the oven to 300 degrees F. Wrap the pork in aluminum foil and transfer to a half sheet pan. Place on the center rack and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 200 degrees F and is tender and pulling apart easily, 3 to 5 hours."

Not making pulled pork but thanks.

Then I'd do about 135 to 140 degrees F in the center, slice and serve it after a good rest.
Sorry not pork butt, I meant sirloin.

We pull our small pieces of ham out of the oven at 65C, so 149F.

you need about 65 C for pork
medium rare beef is 57.5 C
chicken 62 C
any sort of fish, high 40s, low 50, depending on fat content
yes, this basically means you're eating fish raw
no it's not a problem if it was frozen when you started

The primary concern with pork is trichnosis and the USDA has this to say:
>Trichinella spiralis is killed in 47 minutes at 52 C (125.6 F), in 6 minutes at 55 C (131 F), and in < 1 minute at
60 C (140 F).
It's important to note, though, that those temperatures must be uniform throughout the meat. That's why they error on the side of caution and recommend 160F. That's fine for a slow cooked pork shoulder, but will result in a dry sawdust for a sirloin. I think you would be perfectly safe at 140F-145F. Just use your probe to verify it's reached that temp throughout.
