      165F is well done for most meat

      They served the meat extra rare on accident and had to re-cook and re-serve the meat but probably still too underdone.

      According to our thermometer 70° C is considered done/normal for most red meat roasts.

      to kill trichinella parasites is to adequately cook the meat it resides in, to an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F,

      165 degrees F being 74° C which is pretty high tolerance . Our water only needs to be heated to 60° C to avoid legionella that dies at around 54° C, and basically avoid everything else too.
