Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly. For

the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check
for visual signs of doneness.
• Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F.Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach
160° F,and be brown in the middle with no pinkjuices Beef,
veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°
F.All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

dogs, grill to 165° F,or until steaming hot.
