Food Safety

Here are a few tips about food safety.
1.Always wash your hands in hot soapy water before you start cooking.
2.Use separate cutting boards and utensils when preparing raw meats, fish and poultry.
3.Keep the fridge at 40 degrees.
4.Scrub the sink with your favorite cleaning supply at the end of every day or after prepping raw meats. It is suggested to use 1 Tbsp of bleach in 1 qt water.
5.Clean your sponge in the washing machine or dishwasher and use a clean dish towel every day.
6.Uncooked ingredients such as marinades that have touched raw meats should be discarded or brought to a rolling boil first.
7.Discard moldy foods, exceptions are salamis and cheese but cut deeply off the moldy parts.
8.Anything left out 2+ hours without refrigeration, toss. Properly stored foods 3-5 days. check out, foodsafety.gov/keep/charts/storagetimes.html
