A Word or Two on Meat

Meat is a perishable food requiring high standards of hygiene.

Before and after handling meat:

- Wash equipment thoroughly in hot water.

- Wash hands with soap and water.

When working with meat:

- Keep all work surfaces, utensils and cutting boards clean.

- Always use a clean, sharp knife for preparing cuts.

- A secret to tender, moist,tasty meat is the cut you choose. The best cut for grilling steaks is a full one inch thick

- When grilling meats, it is usually best to turn the meat only once. When grilling meat to a medium or greater doneness, use the lid to assist in cooking. This will decrease the cooking time by applying heat to all sides of the meat at once.
