What Temperature Should Burgers Be Cooked To?
Burgers should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to ensure that any harmful bacteria are killed off and the burger is safe to consume. This can be checked using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the burger. Additionally, it is important to let the burger rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute and for the temperature to rise slightly before serving.
