The Four Cs
Barbecues are an ideal breeding house for bacteria to multiply. There is no point in serving healthy tasty food if it gives everyone food poisoning.
Remember the four simple guidelines for serving safe food:
Clean
Wash your hands before cooking
Don't mix utensils used for raw and cooked meat.
Chill
Keep food in the fridge until ready to cook or serve.
Cook
Cook food well, especially chicken, until the flesh is cooked all the way through - cook it until all the pink flesh turns white. It is a good idea to pre-cook chicken in the oven before finishing it off onto the barbecue.
Cover
Cover leftovers and store in the fridge and eat the following day. Discard food if it has been sitting out for two hours or more.
