Meat

All cooked food will continue to cook even after removed from their heat source. (The internal temperature of cooked meat will rise 5 to 15 degrees depending on the size of the cut or roast.) Before slicing cooked meats, it is advisable to allow the meat to "rest", allowing the temperature of the meat to even out. When meat is cooking, its juices are "excited". After resting, the meat temperature begins to drop. The meat relaxes and holds juices more readily.
