The tips for good kitchen hygiene are to cook, clean, chill and prevent cross-contamination. Cooking food at the correct temperature kills bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Cleaning surfaces and utensils after cooking prevents cross-contamination, which is when bacteria is transferred from one surface or food to another. Chilling food quickly after cooking prevents bacterial growth. Preventing cross-contamination in the kitchen can be done by keeping raw meat, poultry, and seafood separate from other foods. Use separate chopping boards for raw and cooked foods. And washing hands, utensils, and surfaces thoroughly after they’ve been in contact with raw meat, poultry, or seafood.
