Could I get away with 150? Has anyone ever actually tried this? I know what the FDA would say, shame on me. But if it’s an organic chicken, say one you’ve raised yourself. No risk of cross contamination. What is the lowest possible temp you could cook it to?
I’m not a level two but I wanted to vote for Greenthumb.

Great answer, I known her work. That is exactly what I wanted to know. I was thinking of a whole roast chicken.

What is the best way to clean aphids out of organic broccoli from the grocery store?

You know how when you buy organic broccoli it is almost always crawling with gray aphids that are jammed in between the tightly packed florets at the top? How in the heck do you get those little guys out of there?! I’m too freaked out to eat organic broccoli at this point; I’d rather risk the pesticides than eat bugs. Help.
