The holidays are almost here! Start planning now for menus, number of guests, and other details.
Keep food safety in mind to keep the uninvited guest of foodborne illness from ruining a great meal.
The basics of cook, chill, clean and separate should guide your meal preparation, serving and clean up. Use a thermometer to verify doneness of meats, casseroles and other dishes.
Many resources can be found in the Holidays section of the KSRE Extension Food Safety website. The publication At-Home Safe Food Handling: It’s in Your Hands is a concise guide to safe food handling.
