A meat thermometer is a useful device to make sure your chicken breast is thoroughly cooked but not overcooked.

I recommend

With a whole chicken the metric isn't it through the thigh.
Bone in thigh cooks faster. Breast is a great carver but if the thigh is over. The breast in knackered.

Lol. My sister uses a meat thermometer. She plunges it through the breast. When I pointed out she had gone right through to the well-packed citrusy, garlicky stuffing which was boiling, she wasn't happy.

You may be right with Whole Chicken but my concern here was a Chicken Breast only. I was 20 above the safety reading of 165 °F but it hadn't dried out.

Feeling better for the first time after my surgery. Had my first slice of toast for months and a good night of internationals on the cards.

Best wishes with your recovery.

I've just purchased a glass toaster. You can see the bread cook and stop it at the right moment for the perfect slice of toast.

Some people display very bizarre behaviour and then some very creative people make art out of it.

Great in theory but if anything like my toaster it doesn't toast evenly!

what really hacks me off regarding this protest defacing paintings is the ignorance as to where the oil in oil paintings was derived (in the 17-1800's in particular). we didn't have a petrochemical business then, all oil used in oil paintings was extracted from linseed, poppyseed and walnuts.

why is no one telling them this!! (and i know some may say it's due to the fact that SOME paintings are owned by large hedge funds that support the oil business)

Your problem Jim is you seem to expect them to be logical and reasonable!

I've wittered about the curious level of courtesy of drivers to pedestrians around here in Chesterfield.
Today at mid-day it was really busy. I managed to make it to the central refuge and was pondering how to get across the other 2 lanes. I was waved across both while they both had 5 cars behind them. Maybe I'm weird but that made me happy.

That's not weird. It cheers me up when a driver waves me across and smiles, particularly an attractive woman.

I've always believed if you get to work in a happier mood, it rubs off on your workmates. Happiness spreads.
