When cooking a hamburger, make sure you handle the meat safely. Keep the meat cold until you cook it and keep work surfaces clean. Always wash your hands before and after handling the ground beef.
\nAccording to the USDA, the minimum safe temperature<\/em> for ground beef is 160\u00b0 F (71\u00b0 C), or well done<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It typically takes from 10 to 15 minutes to reach either temperature, depending on the thickness or size of the hamburgers. It is particularly important to cook ground meat to a safe temperature for children or the elderly. They are the most likely to be seriously affected by a foodborne illness.<\/p>\n
