...and the sauce was reportedly 189 degrees that day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How did they know the exact temperature of the sauce?
And is 189 really that hot? For reference, the recommended minimum internal temp for poultry is 165 but lots of people go hotter than that.
Somehow 189 just doesn’t strike me as dangerously outside the norm for cooked food.
5 seconds at 140 deg contact
with the skin can cause 3rd deg
burns.
At 189 deg, I wouldn’t want to
hang on to it for very long.
Investigators probably went straight
to the source for the 189 deg
temp., though I think the sauce at
time of contact could have been
lower.
If the sauce landed in more personal
places, I could see where this would
have long lasting effects.
Not agreeing with the judgement
though, seems a little excessive.
Because things like that are kept in a warmer with a readout that tells you how hot the sauce is. Now days they have memory on the device that keeps a record and probably sends it to someone's phone.
