Named 9 mistakes of housewives that are associated with health risks

Foreign experts listed 9 mistakes of housewives, which are directly related to health risks. In this list of chicken washing, what not to do.

Washing raw poultry does not remove any harmful bacteria, on the contrary, water splashes easily spread pathogens in the kitchen. Another mistake is the infrequent replacement of the kitchen sponge, in order to avoid the multiplication of bacteria, you can heat it in the microwave oven for a minute, soak it in a special solution, they should be changed at least once a week.

An incorrectly selected cutting board can also lead to health problems. In particular, plastic options are recommended for meat and fish, as the surface is easy to process. Kitchen towels, in turn, need to be washed not only as often as possible, but also not to combine wiping dishes and wiping hands.

An equally dangerous mistake is storing cooked food for more than 4 days, as the dishes collect bacteria that cause food poisoning. The next piece of advice that housewives neglect is failure to maintain the safe temperature of the cooked product, for chicken it is 73 degrees, for fish and pork up to 63 degrees. For this purpose, you should keep a kitchen thermometer.

You should not defrost the chicken for more than two hours at room temperature, as the probability of the spread of bacteria in the room increases. The solution is cold water or the top shelf of the refrigerator. Many food products are not designed to be stored indefinitely.

Ready-made meat, bacon and sausage cannot be left there for more than two months, minced meat is better to use after three. Cuts of meat, poultry and fish - up to a year. Another bad habit is to eat everything in a row at events, as it is necessary to distinguish that it is time to remove some dishes from the table already after two hours.
