What is the temperature rise when cooking a turkey from 30° F to 156° F?

  1. 126° F

  2. 156° F

  3. 126° F

  4. 42° F per hour

The correct answer is: 126° F

To determine the temperature rise when cooking a turkey from 30° F to 156° F, you simply need to subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature. Starting at 30° F and going to 156° F, the calculation is as follows: 156° F - 30° F = 126° F. This result means that the turkey's temperature increases by 126° F during cooking, making it the correct answer. The other provided options, while they may offer different numerical values or units, do not correctly capture the direct temperature increase from the specified starting and ending points. Understanding this calculation is crucial for anyone cooking or dealing with temperature-sensitive processes.
