Want to Avoid Making Everyone Ill this Summer? Enroll at a Barbeque Cooking School
August 25, 2008
Think about it. That means people who are not used to cooking are in charge of barbequing. No wonder many people are being encouraged to take a course at the local barbeque cooking school.
There are three things to bear in mind if you want to hold safe barbeque parties this summer - and a good barbeque cooking school will certainly cover the first two. Here they are:
1. Hygiene is more than just a tricky word thrown in to fox the competition at a spelling bee. It means washing hands, keeping raw and cooked food separate and using different cutting boards for meat and vegetables (surprisingly, vegetables transmit more bacteria to meat than the other way round). Any good course at a barbeque cooking school will turn you into a hygiene evangelist.
2. Make sure the meat is cooked through. This applies to poultry and pork in particular, both of which can carry salmonella. Enroll at a barbeque cooking school, and you’ll learn that black on the outside doesn’t mean cooked on the inside. And more importantly, you’ll learn how to make sure your meat is always cooked on the inside. There’s nothing more embarrassing than guests collapsing on your patio during your summer party.
3. Or is there…? Collapsing at your own summer party could take the biscuit when it comes to embarrassment. So it’s probably not a great idea to crack open that second Chianti until you’ve finished the cooking. Drunken barbequing can be just as lethal as drunken driving. But don’t count on learning about it at a barbeque cooking school. Some things are down to us, it seems.
Cheers.
