Just go on Amazon and pick up a BBQ thermometer. You know, the jack knife type with a pointed sensor that folds out. Get an 8-pack of AAA batteries, that are good for 10 years, to power it up. Mine is still on the original battery, and its 3 years old.
Those things sell for, I dunno, $10 to $20 bucks, so no excuses.
I thought you had experience with camping and cooking. Maybe I was mistaken.
I don't cook turkeys out on the range but in ovens with a meat thermometer.
But say it is the end of society as we know it and the thermometer has broken. How do we know when the food is cooked and ready to eat so we don't poison ourselves?
FINALLY, it is the nature of these threads that others use them to rake me over the coals. Can't we find the answers to the questions posed for the benefit of all?

Thank you. I would like to think that is a decent answer but isn't some blood possible, depending on how the meat is done? Is the only state of no bleeding being burnt to a crisp?

This question is preparing if Society goes South. Hence, the modern world that we know is GONE!
There are many references that tell you how long to cook almost any food based on the weight of the food. My Mom never used a thermometer to cook, nor did her mother, , grandmothers, etc. It was all done using time. And they all preferred overcooked to undercooked for safety.

Thank you.....but we probably need to go a bit more than how Moms did it in that we may not have stoves at our disposal.
Let's take this situation: lost in the woods with your bud. Lucky for you, he knew how to catch a rabbit, skin and clean it. It is ready for cooking, and the fire is going. Unlucky for you, he tripped and fell off the cliff. He's dead. How will you know it is ready to eat?

Well you have a knife if you skinned it, cut into it and you can tell!! Not that hard.
