Thoroughly defrost frozen meat and poultry in the
•
refrigerator before cooking. Keep raw meat and poultry
separate from cooked foods.
Always wash hands after handling raw meat and poultry,
•
before handling any ready to eat foods.
Wipe and disinfect surfaces that have been in contact with
•
raw meat and poultry.
When barbecuing meat and poultry, make sure the barbecue
•
is extremely hot. Place the larger, thicker portions furthest
away from the most intense heat to ensure thorough cooking
without burning and turn regularly.
Use separate utensils for handling raw meat/poultry and
•
cooked food on the barbecue, or wash them thoroughly
between uses.
•
To check whether meat, particularly poultry, is cooked,
pierce the flesh with a skewer or fork; the juices should run
clear. Ensure the product is piping hot throughout.
