Wash all cooking equipment
and your hands after using them
on one food before you use them
on another,

Other bacteria produce poisons
that make us sick, like botulism
and perfringens bacteria. These
bacteria live in soil and dirty
water.

This is why it’s so important to
keep all of our foods clean.

Now these bacteria don’t usual-
ly cause any problems for us, be-
cause there are so few of them.

They start to cause problems
when they reproduce. These little
devils multiply like mad when the
temperature is right. They like it
lo be between 20 and 40 degrees
C (68 degrees and. 104 degrees

That's why we need to keep
foods cither hot or cold.

Any cooking process like boil-
ing, baking, frying, or roasting

These little devils multiply
like mad when the tempera-
tute is right. They like it to
be between 20 and 40 de-
grees C (68 degrees and
104 degrees F).

will kill the bacteria in foods.

But some bacteria also have
what are called spore cells.
Cooking temperatures don’t kill
these spore cells.

When. the temperature reaches
the pleasant, warm range between
20 to 40 degrees again, the spore
cells start to reproduce again,

If we keep foods over 60 de-
grees C (140 degrees F) after
they’ve been cooked (or if we cat
them right after cooking), then
bacteria don’t have a chance to
multiply.

Bacteria also don’t multiply
very much when it’s too cold for
them.

At fridge temperatures like 4
degrees C (40 degrees F), bacteria
hardly grow at all.

So for our picnics, we need to
think about the foods we use, and
how to~keep. them HOT or
COLD:

“Think: about. the meals that
you’ Te.going to lake on your pic-
nic: ‘Are they going to be served
hot, or cold?

Cold ‘meats like those in sand-
wiches, and meat trys necd to be

kept-cool ‘while you're going to _
_ your picnic. . Think about having

a cooler with some Ice.

If you’re going to take raw
meats along to be cooked at your
picnic (like hamburgers or hat-
dogs), be sure that they’re cool
along the way. And be sure that
you cook the meat well once you
get there - No rare burgers!
