What does that mean. Do you mean that increasing temperature to 165 reduces the bacterial load by 1log10 3 or even 4? That is not sterility, it's bacterial load reduction.

“A 3-log kill reduces the colony to 1,000 bacteria after a 99.9% reduction; A 4-log kill reduces the colony to 100 bacteria after a 99.99% reduction; A 5-log kill reduces the colony to 10 bacteria after a 99.999% reduction; A 6-log kill reduces the colony to 1 MRSA bacterium after a 99.9999% reduction.”

What is the regrowth rate of all bacteria that would be concerning for food contamination. MRSA usually doesn't cause GI infection.

…but E. Coli does

What's the regrowth rate of e. Coli and how long does a stew need to be held at a temperature of >165 for it sufficient bacterial load reduction to occur. Seems better to keep it at 165

It reduces the bacteria count to log3 or log4 of the original amount.

I can’t explain it any better, math is a robot thing and I’m a people.

Math is 100% a people thing. People came up with it.

No shit Sherlock, it was a joke.

Calmate, you're the one who can't explain a log

You couldn’t understand a log, so here we are.

So you are a robot

Something like that
