Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. 

  • If using NY strip steak, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Cook the Broccoli

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces, if necessary.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add broccoli, seasoned salt, and 1 Tbsp. water to hot pan. Stir to combine.

    Cover and cook until water is almost completely evaporated, 5-6 minutes.

    Uncover and stir occasionally until tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in cheese and a pinch of pepper.

    While broccoli cooks, continue recipe.
