How do I know when my food is safe to eat?Updated 8 months ago


The Combustion App automatically informs you when your food is safe to eat, applying the food-safety standards of the US government (USDA/FDA).

It’s a little bit complicated to explain (look here), but it’s extremely simple to use. 

If you really want to "get it", please watch this food safety video that Chris hand-crafted for you.

You’ll get a notification when your food passes the USDA recommendation for food safety.

SafeCook™'s integrated standards add up the combined bacterial destruction over time-at-temps as your food heats up.

Meeting these standards is just as effective as reaching a very high temp - either method kills 99.99999% of bacteria (that’s the USDA-safe level for chicken).

For example, 150ºF for 4.2 min is just as effective as cooking to 165ºF.

The SafeCook feature is easy to use and the thermometer does all the math for you. With it, you never have to overcook anything “just to be sure.”

You don’t have to follow these recommendations if you don’t want to, but it sure is nice to know. 

LEGAL NOTE: All home cooking is at your own risk. No warranty or guarantee of safety is implied. Please read the full terms (legal stuff!).
