FOOD SAFETY

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the out-
door 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.
Separate: Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to
avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and uten-
sils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria.
Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food tem-
peratures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and
it is recommended to remain outside with your grill while
cooking.
Grilling can be affected by many external conditions. In
cold weather, you will need more heat to reach an ideal
cooking temperature, and grilling may take longer. The
meat's internal temperature and thickness can also affect
cooking times. Cold and thicker meats will take longer to
cook.
Internal Meat Temperatures
Meat cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the out-
side. Therefore, use a meat thermometer to ensure it has
reached safe internal temperatures.
