instaneously? If I dropped food on the ground, and then put it in the oven to cook it, I can kill off all bacteria in the food instantanously if my oven reaches what temperature?
 
It isn't killed "instantaneously". Different micro-organisms survive different temperatures.
Most things occurring naturally on food are killed by 180 degrees (use a meat thermometer). Your best bet for dropped food is to wash the surface of it before cooking.
 
if you dropped it on the ground WASH IT, then cook to internal temp of 165 to 185




p.s.
or do like all restaraunts and use 3 second rule ....lol
 
Ben buddy,first of all rinse any chicken off before cooking but especially after dropping on the ground. Second heat or cook at 350 degrees in the oven,pierce chicken with a fork when clear liquid not blood runs out the bird is cooked. Good luck,also to avoid salmonella wash your hands and counter tops as well as your kitchen faucet off with hot water. Also it does not hurt to use clorox clean up wipes or pure bleach to clean away bacteria. Hope this helps. One question when will the bird be ready? Call me when done.lol
