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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The risk isn’t that the food you’re cooking will be re-contaminated-as long as you’re still cooking it, the heat from the pan will destroy any bacteria.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -So how should you use your spatula in a safe way when cooking raw meat? The basic rule is that once the spatula touched the raw meat, that same unwashed spatula should NOT be touching cooked meat. Use another clean spatula to handle the meat that’s been cooked.
