The actual pay raise in 2012 has apparently not been calculated yet. CNN says this is an increase from 2011, in which the average employee pay raise was 2.7 percent, but Mercerâs own website says the average raise in 2011 was 2.9 percent â the same as the prediction for 2013. Moreover, Mercerâs own website announced their prediction for 2012 as 3 percent.
The Canadian Meat Packers Council recommends that internal meat temperatures should not exceed 39Â°F or 4Â°C, and other studies have suggested that the optimal storage temperature for meat is just below the freezing point.
If you are cooking at high temps, carryover can be up to 10Â°F. If you are cooking at low temps, it might not go up the full 5Â°F. But 5Â°F is a good rule of thumb for most roasts. Medium rare is the best temp for beef, lamb, venison steaks, roasts, and duck breasts. Food scientists have equipment to measure tenderness and juiciness. They apply force to the surface until it sheers, and the measure how much pressure is needed. Medium rare wins.
