Grilling Tips

Cleanliness:
• Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and hot water
prior to handling food and after handling raw meat,
uncooked poultry or seafood.
• When using a platter to carry raw meat, uncooked poultry
or seafood to the grill, make sure to wash the platter
thoroughly with soap and hot water before placing
cooked foods back on the platter or use different platters
for raw and cooked foods.
• Never use the same utensils when handling raw meat,
uncooked poultry or seafood unless you wash the utensils
thoroughly with soap and hot water.
• Never re-use marinade from raw meat or uncooked
poultry on foods that have been cooked and are ready to
be served.
