basic steps:

and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat
and poultry.
SEPARATE: Separate raw meats
and poultry from ready-to eat

tion. Use clean platter and utensils
when removing cooked foods
from appliance.

thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use ther-
mometer to ensure proper internal
food temperatures.

and leftovers promptly.

HOW TO TELL IF
MEAT IS COOKED
THOROUGHLY
Meat and poultry cooked with this
appliance often browns very fast on
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.
When reheating takeout foods or
fully cooked meats like hot dogs,
cook to 165° F (74° C), or until
steaming hot.
