A clean kitchen is both vital and easy
Did you know that a fresh chicken is carrying as many bacteria as a dirty nappy? So you’ll understand how important it is to wash your hands after handling either of these! Dirt is not always visible and the hundreds of thousands of cases of food poisoning treated every year in this country are proof of it!
Cleanliness at home is important and most particularly so in the kitchen. And it’s simple and easy to achieve. Here are a few recommendations:
- In the kitchen, wash your hands before and after each activity;
- Cooked meats, poultry and eggs must be stored immediately in the refrigerator in separate containers, as must any leftovers;
- The work surfaces, utensils and equipment must be carefully washed after each use;
- Kitchen linen – tea towels and hand towels – must be reserved exclusively to one of these uses, changed frequently and washed at over 60°C;
- The refrigerator temperature must be below 5°C;
- Frozen products must be cooked immediately after defrosting;
- Any liquid from frozen meats, poultry and fish must be thrown away and the container washed in hot water; The refrigerator and bin must be cleaned each week with water containing 10% bleach.
