A perfect cook, every time

Ontario farm fields may be dormant for the winter, but Ontario meat and poultry is always in season.

Ontario meat and poultry farms operate ethically, conscious of environmental impacts, animal welfare and food safety. They are a key link in the province’s food supply chain, drive economic activity in their communities and, most importantly, help feed Ontario — and the world — with healthy and delicious food, year round.

There are a lot of tools and utensils you can use when cooking meat or poultry, but by far the most important will be a good and reliable meat thermometer. The best meats are cooked to temperature and not time. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) offers a few hearty meal ideas that are perfect for these winter days.
