Keeping the kitchen clean

-

HyGIene-cOnscIOusn­ess in the kitchen is vital. In this part of the house where meals are prepared and edible items are stored and tasted, cleanlines­s and food-safety are a must to prevent serious problems for the family, such as food poisoning.

Most people know how important it is to store food at the right temperatur­es so it doesn’t go bad; cook meat properly so that parts of it don’t remain raw; and keep work surfaces, chopping boards, cutlery and crockery clean. However, many kitchen users overlook the matter of transferen­ce of bacteria from one item or surface to another by means of their own or others’ hands.

For instance, if you have been working with raw meat just before gripping a pot handle or the handle of a spoon to scoop the meat into the pot, the pot and spoon handles now have raw-meat bacteria on them. even if you wash your hands after scooping the meat in, once you grasp the pot or spoon handle again, the bacteria gets back onto the hand you use – which might then go on to touch cooked food or a salad.

Another oft-overlooked matter is the importance of cleaning the outsides and undersides of foodstorag­e containers, pots, plates and bowls. Although the external surfaces, including lids and handles, may be less grease-covered than the insides, they bear traces of food splatters, bacteria from having been touched by hands that had just touched something else, and possible contact with pests during the night. so wash up well both inside and outside before and after cooking and eating.

the same goes for cutlery before and after eating. I often see people fastidious­ly washing the tines of forks, bowls of spoons and blades of knives while barely cleaning the handles. Get those clean too, especially if you wash by hand and do not use a dishwasher. – the straits times / Asia news network
