Thank you, that was very helpful and straightforward. I take it the meat doesn't have to remain at 170degF/77degC for any specific length of time - it just has to reach that temperature and it's done? I'm trying a chicken galantine on Saturday and I'm going to do it with a thermometer. Thanks again.

@fauxfax Glad to hear it was helpful. As soon as the temp reaches 170F, take the chicken off the heat. Remember to let boneless chicken sit at room temp for 5 minutes to rest before cutting.

Very informative; thank you for posting this video. I was impressed with the presenter's speech. Very clear, not "ums" or pauses and obviously she knows her "product".

Thank you very much; thats very helpful. I think I have a tendancy to cremate meat. I was vegetarian for 10 years and kind of lost the ability to obejectively judge it. I keep thinking I'm going to kill someone.
