Kitchen: cooking temperatures, storage times, baking math, ratios and swaps
check_kitchenReturns kitchen figures in F and C: the federal minimum internal temperature for poultry, ground meat, beef, bison, goat, pork, lamb, veal, ham, rabbit, venison, fish, egg dishes and leftovers with rest times, and a shellfish visual check that has no number; fridge and freezer keeping times for about 40 foods; the curing-salt limit (the federal 156 ppm figure only); the high-altitude boiling point. Trade-practice answers are labelled as trade practice: brine and quick-pickle ratios, coffee and tea ratios, baker's percentages, recipe scaling, and ingredient swaps with allergy flags and a one-line why. Topic is temperature, storage, baking, ratio or substitute, and is inferred from the query when topic is omitted. Applies to questions about minimum internal cooking temperatures, how long food keeps, baking math, brine, coffee or tea ratios, or an ingredient swap. The figures are cooking guidance, not a nutrition panel or a recall notice. Results report what the official sources say and are not a safety assessment. Not medical advice.

|---|---|---|---|
| food | No | The food, tea type or ingredient, e.g. 'chicken', 'salmon', 'buttermilk', 'green tea' | |
| kind | No | For baking: scale, percent (baker's percentages and hydration) or altitude. For ratio: wet_brine, dry_brine, pickle, cure, coffee or tea | |
| unit | No | Unit for amount: g, kg, oz, lb, ml, l, tsp, tbsp, cup or floz | |
| avoid | No | Allergens to avoid; swaps that list them are flagged and sorted last | |
| query | No | The question in the person's words, e.g. 'how long does cooked rice keep' | |
| topic | No | Which kind of answer; inferred from query or the other fields when left out | |
| amount | No | For ratios: the water or liquid (brine, pickle, coffee, tea) or the meat weight (dry brine, cure) | |
| factor | No | Scale factor, e.g. 1.5 | |
| reading_c | No | A thermometer reading in C to compare with the food's minimum | |
| reading_f | No | A thermometer reading in F to compare with the food's minimum | |
| altitude_m | No | Altitude in metres | |
| altitude_ft | No | Altitude in feet | |
| ingredients | No | For baking scale or percent: the recipe's ingredients with amounts. Weigh flour and water in g, oz or lb for percentages | |
| to_servings | No | Servings wanted | |
| from_servings | No | Servings the recipe makes |
