Because of the increasing popularity, many people feel that there is not enough space in their homes. This is especially true in kitchens with large pots and pans, such as die-cast aluminum cookware, aluminum cooking pots, and aluminum kitchen utensils, which often take a lot of space when being stored.
In addition, because kitchen utensils including aluminum food pan, stainless steel cooking ware, stackable pots and pans set, ceramic dishes, silver knives, and forks, etc. are not only of different sizes but also of different shapes. Many people stack these cluttered items in random corners of the kitchen for the sake of convenience, which is easy for kitchen items to breed bacteria. And these bacteria may enter people's bodies with the food they hold during meals. An unclean kitchen can have the undesirable consequence of affecting people's health.
The bacteria that cause food poisoning can live in many places and spread around your kitchen. So to keep your kitchen clean. It is important to follow the four steps of cleaning, separating, cooking, and refrigerating. While the four steps take extra time, they can help protect you and your loved ones from food poisoning.
1. Clean.
This is the most basic requirement for food processing. The main components of cleaning include washing hands and dish surfaces before eating. You can separate meats from vegetables and rinse them under running water before preparing them for cooking. Then wash the surfaces of stainless steel cookware with a vegetable cleaner. Before serving food, rinse dishes in hot water. And when your hands are contaminated with grease or sauces, they must also be cleaned promptly. This is to protect your hands from external cross-contamination.
2. Separate.
Use separate cutting boards and plates for raw meat, poultry, and seafood. This is because all poultry, seafood, and eggs can spread bacteria into ready-to-eat foods. Even if you keep them separate, you are only reducing the probability of bacterial cross-contamination. That's why cleanliness is so important. Before cooking, remember to separate raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs from all other foods in the refrigerator.
3. Cooking.
High-temperature heating is the easiest way to sterilize. High-quality aluminum pans and professional stainless steel cookware are suitable equipment for heating ingredients at high temperatures. You cannot tell if food is safely cooked by examining the color and texture of the food. The only way to tell if food is safely cooked is to use a food thermometer. It is best to cook meat completely rather than eating a rare steak that still has a lot of bacteria left in it.
4. Cooling.
Please refrigerate immediately when you make more food. Because bacteria can multiply quickly if left at room temperature or in the "danger zone" between 40°F and 140°F. Some foods are perishable. Do not leave them out for more than 2 hours. You also need to be careful when defrosting foods to use a stainless steel pan filled with cold water or a microwave oven, as bacteria can quickly multiply in parts of the food that have reached room temperature.
