Handling your Meat

One of the most important things to remember when you cook is proper food handling. Flavoring and cooking is almost secondary to proper working with food. Avoid cross contamination when dealing with raw meat (use different cutting boards and utensils), keep and continuously clean work areas (hot soapy water or disinfectant spray) and cook all foods to proper tempetures (learn proper internal temps for different meats and always check with probe thermometers).
