More Kitchen Safety Tips

• Never put cooked food on the same plate that was used when it was raw.
• Put your sponge or scouring pad in the dishwasher every time you run it. This will keep bacteria from growing.
• Clean and disinfect sinks and often touched kitchen surfaces.
• Select and use cutting boards carefully. Cutting boards can harbor bacteria in the cracks and grooves caused by kitchen knives. Choose a smooth, durable and nonabsorbent surface. Plastic is less porous than wood, making it less likely to harbor bacteria, and easier to clean. Wash your board with hot soapy water, and scrub with a brush to remove food and dirt particles. After washing the cutting board by hand sanitize in the dishwasher.
