Do You Have to Cook Pork Until It’s Well Done to Avoid Trichinosis?
CulinaryLore ^ | 9/6/22 | EricT

In this article, I’m going to debunk two myths. The first myth regards the need to cook pork until it’s well done to avoid trichinosis (trichonelosis). The second myth is a myth within the myth, regarding the degree of cooking needed to render pork generally safe to eat. The questions are: Do we still need to worry about trichinosis in pork? And, if so, how much do we need to cook pork to kill this dangerous parasite?

I love sauerkraut, but it has to be sweetened.

ONLY with pork, though.

One hotdogs, with yellow mustard or goldens, spicy, brown mustard, sauerkraut is fine right out of the bag the way it is.

I think the mustard moderates it…

Looks good for a bratwurst. Trouble is you rarely find good bratwurst

Johnsonvilles are good. Hatfield are also pretty good. There used to be a local German butcher down the road from me, where I got them fresh… But he retired and closed up shop while ago. So I set up for the store-bought ones now.

Yep. for me a minimum of 160 F is it. When it’s a thick cut, I usually braze the outsides to get the color and seal-in and then pop it in the air fryer at 360F for 5-8 minutes a side.
