1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash your hands before and after food preparation and in between handling different kinds of food in the kitchen such as meats and vegetables.
2. Keep it cold, keep it hot. Quickly store leftovers in the refrigerator to slow the growth of bacteria. Do not allow food to sit around for several hours.
3. Be careful of cross contamination. The easiest way to avoid this is to use two cutting boards. One for meat and one for veggies.
4. Wash, rinse, and sanitize. Thoroughly wash counter tops and cutting boards between uses. A sanitizer approved for kitchen use will kill even more germs.
5. Cook it thoroughly. It is always a good idea to verify cooking temperatures by using a digital thermometer. It lets you know quickly that the meat is thoroughly cooked and thus free of illness causing bacteria.
