About this tool
Salting by weight is more consistent than salting by the spoonful, because different salts pack differently. Salt also changes texture: worked in early, it makes meat sticky and springy, which suits sausage but not a tender burger.
Pull Point gives general cooking guidance, not food-safety or medical advice. Temperatures follow USDA guidelines unless a lower chef’s target is labeled, and lower targets carry more risk. When in doubt, cook it further.
