KITCHEN PREP
- Wash the top of the can before opening it
- Wash everything that comes in contact with raw meat, poultry or fish
in hot soapy water before it's used again - Never put cooked food or ready to eat food on an unwashed cutting board
or plate that previously held raw meat, poultry or fish - Do NOT just run fruits & vegetables under the water - WASH them
- Scrub with soap anything with a skin including melons, apples, oranges, etc.
- Slice the top & bottom off of tomatoes, apples & pears after washing
& then slice the fruit - If you are mixing something in a bowl even if it's just salad ingredients
& something spills over onto the counter throw it away - Do NOT let cutting or cooking utensils rest on the counter
- Use a meat, dairy or pareve 'spoon' rests making sure to wash them
inbetween cooking different items
