Detailed explanation-1: -Why It’s a Mistake: Germs from the raw meat can spread to the cooked meat. Solution: Always use separate plates for raw meat and cooked meat. The same rule applies to chicken, turkey, and seafood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Never use the same plate, cutting board or utensils for cooked food that you used for raw meats and poultry. Bacteria in the juices of raw meat and poultry can contaminate safely cooked food. Meat and poultry cooked on a grill browns very quickly but may not be cooked inside.
Detailed explanation-3: -Never place cooked food on a plate that previously held raw meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs unless the plate has been washed in hot, soapy water.
Detailed explanation-4: -Do I need to use different tongs or spatulas for cooked and uncooked meat? “This is another common mistake: using the same tongs or spatula for raw and cooked meat. This just contaminates cooked meat with germs that were on the uncooked meat, ‘’ Schneider said.
