Burger Bash

I recently attended a “Burger Bash” in Quincy, Illinois. Having no idea what to expect, I was delighted to see a portable stainless serving cart equipped to hold and serve dozens of hamburgers to the many guests showing up with their chairs and coolers. In a shady back yard people gathered to chat, play yard bags, and wait with anticipation as the five weber charcoal grills were fired up to serve the double wave of ten contestants.

Let me first acknowledge that the gas grill has its advantages of instant heat, fast cooking, and no ash cleanup. That being said I want to define those areas of bar-b-queing that creates a tender, moist, flavorful entrée for even the cheapest cuts of meat. To make a cheaper cut of meat tender and juicy it has to be cooked at low temperatures for a long period of time. The low heat prevents the meat from drying out and the length of time allows both the meat to tenderize and the smoky flavor of wood chips and the flavor of rubs or sauces to permeate into the meat.

Salmonella continues to cause scares for consumers

Last year it was spinach, now we are seeing salmonella scares with tomatoes. I have to admit that I am not one to watch the news on a daily basis, so when I went to subway and found that there were no tomatoes, I was quite confused.

The recent scare is caused by 145 people getting sick after eating Roma or plum tomatoes. The contaminated tomatoes outbreak has forced restaurants like McDonalds, Chipotle, Subway, and others to have to take tomatoes off the menu.

With several scares over the years, consumers are feeling less confident in our food sources. Although there is no way to avoid the outbreaks completely, there are measures you can take to keep your food safe.

Always wash your hands. Wash your hands with soap and water before handling food. When working with foods such as chicken, eggs, and other raw foods.
Make sure food such as poultry and fish are thoroughly cooked.
Use different knives and cutting boards when preparing different foods.
Always wash vegetables thoroughly before eating or cooking.

There are several suggestions and tips on how to keep your foods safe. These are just a few to get you started. Don’t let outbreaks scare you off from enjoying the foods you love, but be safe when preparing them.
