Cooking Safety Tips for ThanksgivingMeat Thermometer

Everyone Should Wash Their Hands
Before anyone helps you cook in the kitchen, they should wash their hands. Including yourself! Washing hands is one of the best ways to prevent the spreading of germs. The last thing you want is for someone to get sick from something that could have been prevented.
Watch the Food
No one wants to stand around the kitchen and keep an eye on the food. However, it’s important to set a timer and check the food every now and again. Our minds tend to wonder off of what we were doing in the first place, so it’s important to check on the food from time to time. No one wants burnt food, so this is important not only for safety reasons but for consumption reasons.
Be sure to have something handy to send leftovers home with everyone! These foil containers are ideal because they are oven safe and you don’t have to worry about hunting down your containers afterward!
