Celebrate National Food Safety Month With a Clean Kitchen

by Proforma Construction Inc, September 12, 2016

September is National Food Safety Month, be sure that the kitchen, the area where you prepare all of your food, is as clean as a whistle.

The kitchen is the place where we all prepare our food: from simply placing objects down while we get our other ingredients to cutting and cooking the food. In order to avoid sickness, it is imperative that our kitchen be as clean as possible. The kitchen is a breeding ground for all bacteria, and while it’s impossible to clear our area of all bacteria, it’s important that we do our best effort to cleanse it from the bad bacteria. Here are a few things that you can do to reduce your chances of contaminating food and cooking a healthy meal for National Food Safety Month (and beyond).

National Food Safety Tips and Tricks

  • Wash Your Hands Often – First contact: we handle our food with our hands before we place them on the counter. So it’s important that we wash our hands with warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds (about the length of the “Happy Birthday” song).
  • Clean All Surfaces – The wet conditions of our kitchens create the perfect living habitat for all bacteria. It’s important that you clean everything to reduce the chance of contamination. Cutting boards and tabletops all need to be cleaned before we place and slice our food.
  • Wash All Dishes – Washing all dishes in the dishwasher or in hot soapy water is the best fight we have against bacteria. Make sure to rinse them well as warm water is perfect for cultivating bacteria.

This National Food Safety Month should be one in which awareness is spread and what better way to spread awareness than by example. For more clean your kitchen hacks & tricks guaranteed to work, click here: http://topreveal.com/how-to-clean-kitchen-hacks-tricks
