FOOD SAFETY
There are basic rules to follow when handling food.
They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.
COOK
It’s crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present.
The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a
lot of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present
on the surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked
to at least 160 o F to 165 o F (71 o C to 74 o C), bacteria will not be destroyed and there’s a
good chance you will get sick.
Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don’t have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on
the inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an
internal temperature of at least 145 o F (63 o C) (medium rare). The safe temperature for
poultry is 180 o F (82 o C) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 160 o F (71 o C). Eggs
should be thoroughly cooked too. If you are making a meringue or other recipe that uses
uncooked eggs, buy specially pasteurized eggs or use prepared meringue powder.
SEPARATE
Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST
ALWAYS be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in
contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning.
Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so
there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2
days of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator,
not on the counter.
When grilling or cooking raw meats or fish, make sure to place the cooked meat on a
clean platter. Don’t use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash
the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as
spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.
DRYING FLOWERS
• The flowers should be dry to start with, best if picked after the dew has dried and
before the night damp sets in. Dry the flowers as soon as possible after picking.
• The best condition for drying flowers is a dry, warm, dark, clean and well ventilated
area, which makes a dehydrator an ideal setting. Flowers will retain the best color
and condition when dried quickly.
• A low temperature should be used to retain the natural oils.
• Strip off the leaves or if you prefer to keep the foliage. Discard any brown or
damaged leaves.
• Place on the dehydrator Rack in a single layer, avoiding overlapping.
• Drying times will vary considerably depending on the size of the flower and the
amount of foliage. Dry at 100°F (38°C).
