Question

question 8
where should you place the thermometer stem when checking the temperature of a chicken breast?

○ in the thinnest part
○ between two chicken breasts
○ between a chicken breast
○ in the thickest part

Explanation:

To check the temperature of a chicken breast, the thermometer stem should be placed in the thickest part of the breast. This is because the thickest part takes the longest to cook, and ensuring it reaches a safe internal temperature (to kill bacteria) is crucial. The thinnest part would cook faster and might not represent the overall doneness, and placing it between two breasts or between a breast (without specifying thickness) is not the standard method. The correct approach is to target the thickest portion to get an accurate reading of the breast's internal temperature.

Answer:

D. In the thickest part (assuming the last option is labeled D; if the original labels were different, adjust the identifier, but the text is "In the thickest part")
