Dos and Don'ts in the Kitchen

1. Storage

Don’t store raw meat products on the same shelf or on a higher shelf in the Fridge, always store raw meat products lower down in the fridge as this prevents cross-contamination between the them, and keep your raw meat products covered.

2. Washing

3. Chopping Board

Don’t use the same chopping board for raw meat & fruit & vegetables , if you only have one it should be thoroughly washed in between uses. 

4. Knives

Don’t use blunt knives, they are more dangerous than sharp ones, as you are more likely to slip or twist whilst slicing or chopping and injure yourself.

5. Wash Hands

Do wash your hands immediately after touching all raw meats, also when washing your chopping boards rinse with cold water first to remove any small pieces of meat, then wash in hot soapy water. (if you wash directly with hot water in can “cook” the meat onto the board and make it more difficult to remove)

6. Eggs

Do keep your Eggs in a cupboard and not the fridge, and  check the use by date on the box or egg.  In the fridge eggs can absorb other aromas through the shell & refrigeration is not required.
