What happens if meat thermometer touches bone?

If your meat thermometer touches bone, you will get a higher temperature reading. But if you measure the meat near the bone, it may read as much as 10 degrees lower than the rest of the cut. It's always best to find the densest part of the meat and steer clear of the bone when reading temperature.

Does Bone heat faster than meat?

But the truth is that bones are not good conductors of heat. In fact, because bones are porous and dry, the meat itself will conduct heat better than bone. One thing to remember when making the 'bone or no bone decision' is that meat cooked with the bone left in is tasty.

Does meat cook quicker on the bone?

Meat on the bone typically cooks slower than boneless meat when roasted in a joint. Individual bone-in portions such as chops also take longer to cook than their filleted equivalents.

How do you know when a meat thermometer is done?

Remove the thermometer from the food after checking the temperature. Place the thermometer in the thickest part of the food. To gauge the temperature of a large piece of meat, insert the thermometer probe through the center of the thickest part of the meat, avoiding any bones, fat, or gristle.

How can you tell if meat is cooked without a thermometer?
