bbq_get_target_temperature
Retrieve target cooking temperatures for BBQ proteins, including pull temperatures to account for carryover cooking, ensuring proper doneness levels.
Instructions
Get the target internal temperature for a specific protein and doneness level.
Returns both the target serving temperature and the pull temperature (when to remove from heat) accounting for carryover cooking.
Args:
protein_type: Type of protein
doneness: Desired doneness level (optional, uses recommended if not specified)
include_pull_temp: Whether to include pull temperature (default: true)
response_format: 'markdown' or 'json'
Examples:
"What temp for medium-rare ribeye?" -> protein_type='beef_ribeye', doneness='medium_rare'
"When is chicken done?" -> protein_type='chicken_whole'
