Quick Answer about "Can I use low-temperature cooking for foie gras"

There is much disagreement in the United States about the internal temperature foie gras should reach in a low heat method. Cooking to 135 F, which will raise to over 140 F while the terrine rests, is a high enough temperature to kill most bacteria. The FDA requires that foie gras sold commercially be cooked to 160 F.

What temperature should foie gras be cooked to?

Pour in enough hot (not boiling) water to come an inch or so up the sides of the terrine. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the foie gras reaches 115 degrees. (The U.S.D.A. recommends an internal temperature of 160 degrees.)

When cooking foie gras Why is it important to avoid overcooking?

Since foie gras is more than 75 percent fat, cooks and chefs have to be very careful not to overcook the liver and end up with liquid fat. A quick sear or a fast grill on a hot surface is all that is needed. Describing the taste isn't easy. To the palate, foie gras has a smooth, buttery, almost baconlike flavor.

Does foie gras need to be fully cooked?

Perfectly seared foie gras should be crisp and well-browned on the exterior, with a medium-rare center that is just beginning to soften, almost custard-like in texture. Figs are a classic combination, and it's no wonder why. Their jamminess and rich flavor go perfectly with the unctuous qualities of foie gras.
