Food for Thought Bff Mmrjg Lee It’s summertime, and the outdoor eating is great—pic nics at the beach, barbecues in the backyard, or dinner on the porch. But refreshing as alfresco dining may be, it does call for extra care in food handling by homemakers. Hot food must be kept hot and cold food cold to maintain flavor and wholesomeness. And if you are taking food any dis tance from home, you should plan on a menu that travels well. Eatables that can be heated upon arrival or kept icy cold en route are the safest. For example, foods never to hold for over three hours at room temperature include all creamed dishes, fish, ground meat, eggs and mayonnaise dressings. For storage of such perishable foods, a tempera ture of 42 degrees should be maintained. Cooked foods should not stand out after they have cooled, either. Cover them tightly and refrigerate or freeze immediately. When pos sible, divide a large quantity into small containers to hasten cooling. Store gravy and stuff ing separately. In spite of our vastly im proved hygiene practices and sanitation procedures, hot weather is the time when food poisoning reaches its peak be cause people forget the proper handling of perishables. It’s essential to keep the kitchen immaculate, and to wash all poultry and vegetables carefully. After you prepare raw meat or poultry, be sure to sanitize the cutting board or surface before handling other foods. Washing hands often when preparing food is another good health practice. Never use any food, home canned or commercially pro cessed, that has a bulging cap or lid, that leaks, has a rancid odor, or foams or spurts when opened. Home economists also discourage freezing ground meat. The meat has already been exposed to possible con tamination, and the higher the percentage of fat in the meat, the more rapidly bacteria grows. Then, if the meat is allowed to thaw on a kitchen counter rather than overnight in the refrigerator, it is still more susceptible to contami nation.
