User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can put the dishwasher tablet in the silverware basket.

it would be the same as putting it in the.bottom of dishwasher. It will dissolve either way but you won’t get the most from the tablet this way. The dispenser opens during the middle of the cycle.

What is proper kitchen sponge hygiene?

User Avatar

Asked by Fledermaus

Proper kitchen sponge hygiene involves rinsing the sponge thoroughly after each use, squeezing out excess water, and allowing it to air dry. You can also sanitize the sponge by microwaving it on high for 1-2 minutes or running it through the dishwasher. Replace the sponge regularly, at least every 2 weeks, to prevent bacterial growth.

Funny things happen,

as we get a little older....

we get a little stronger,

and smell a little bolder!

So we use deodorant,

and bathe everyday....

and put on clean clothes,

so the smell goes away.

We need to brush our teeth,

and learn how to''floss''....

it prevents bad breath

and possible tooth loss!

We practice "good-hygiene" habits,

it's easier than it seems......

it's all part of growing up

and building ''self-estem''!

Why was Tussy Deodorant taken out of the stores?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It contained a trace amount of hydrochloric acid which, over time, will add up and really damage the individual's skin.

It worked and was cheap. NO doubt some big company hired someone to make this claim and wahlah another cheap great product is gone. Its the only one I could use and it would last all day. I noticed now most of the current ones use different active ingredients. It use to be pretty much the same but not anymore. Who knows what they are putting in them all i know is now they none work as good as they use too

Sanitation and hygiene in the kitchen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a very broad question.

Food Hygiene in a nutshell is the correct and appropriate handling, storage and date labelling of all food products and food groups to effectively control bacterial cross contamination between the food groups.

It also means having the knowledge required to know how certain food products need to be cooked to avoid causing illness such as the correct cooking temperatures for minced meat (meat that has been exposed to the air) and poultry products such as chicken which could give you E-coli.

Bacteria can only live and multiply at certain temperatures - hence we cook food to kill bacteria and chill or freeze it so that bacteria cannot multiply.

"Use by Dates" are also a very important part of food hygiene as it ensures the freshness and therefore quality of the food product. Obviously different food products can be stored for different amounts of time - meat and fish can be stored for slightly longer if chilled after being cooked rather then simply being stored fresh and raw in a refrigerated environment.

As a general rule dairy products shouldn't be out of a refrigerator for any longer than 15-20 minutes with the exception of some cheeses such as hard cheese like Parmesan.

Many restaurants with decent standards will also colour code their knives and chopping boards to ensure that, for instance only the green knife and board are used for vegetables and only the red knife and board for raw meat etc

That's the best I can do without you being more specific!

10 hygiene rules for in the kitchen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Defining the most import hygiene rules in the kitchen is really a task of listing the most general rules of the kitchen. Each rule will have specifics that everyone needs to know. But here's one list

  1. Keep everything clean and sanitary
  2. Use proper personal hygiene
  3. Prevent cross contamination
  4. Cook and cool food properly
  5. Keep hot foods hot
  6. Keep cold foods cold

What follows are thoughts from other contributors:

PERSONAL HYGIENE

1. wash hands with warm soapy water

2. tie hair back and cover where required or appropriate

3. don't wear make up or nail polish

4. always remove watches, jewelery, etc. before cooking

5. if wearing shirt button up cufflings

6. don't wear open-toed shoes (more of a workplace safety issue)

7. wear an apron to protect your clothes. Change aprons when they get dirty.

8. if you have a cut put on blue plaster (no foods are blue)

KITCHEN HYGIENE

1. make sure surfaces are clean and sanitary

2. all your equipment and utensils are clean and dry

3. your sinks are clean and sanitary

4. bins not over flowing

5. floor is not wet (splash becomes source of contamination)

6. cookers are clean

7.dont use out of date food

8. don't chop raw meat and other food on the same chopping board

9. always wash food before cooking

10. keep your cooking area tidy

11. make sure that you use clean utensils for each type of food that you work with

12. don't keep meat so long out of the freezer

13. don't sneeze or cough on the food

14. wash vegetables before cooking

15. if you put a spoon in food and lick it then don't put it back in the food

Wash hands before any contact with food if you sneeze always cover your mouth and turn away from the food and then wash your hands no smoking inside if something is spilt always clear it up straight away always wash surfaces straight after contact with raw meet.

1: ALWAYS wash your hands

2: If you have long hair, tie it up and pull your hair back.

3: Wear an apron because you don't want to ruin your clothes. [Note: Aprons are for protecting the food from your clothes. You can't take your clothes off when you go to the bathroom. You can and should remove the apron on breaks. Aprons are also easily changed when they become dirty.]

4: Don't eat any of the food mixture until finished, if you do, wash your hands again.

5: Sneeze AWAY from the food, as well as coughing.

6: ALWAYS wash the food before cooking.

7: ALWAYS check the food before you buy it.

Basically the rules of food hygiene are common sense rules to stop contamination of food while preparing or serving it. Remember, cooking food kills most germs. If you aren't going to cook it yourself before eating it then you have to store it carefully and make sure the way you prepare it is clean. Make sure it has few chances of encountering raw food, especially raw protein like meat which bacteria thrive on.

If food is not going to be cooked before you serve it - like cooked meats, cheese, cakes etc then you should store them on the top shelves of your fridge so no contaminants can drop onto them. You shouldn't cut these food stuffs with any knife that has been used on raw meat (unless it's been washed properly - rinsing under the tap won't do unless your tap spews boiling water). Ideally you should use different knives and chopping boards for raw meat and everything else.

Finally, ALWAYS wash your hands after putting something in the bin/trash. It's easy to forget, I know. Especially when trimming and peeling vegetables. My kitchen bin is host to microbes that feed on chicken skin, old cat food, veggie peelings, leftovers and everything. It's a hot bed of microbe reproduction activity. I bet yours is pretty similar! If my hands go to the bin I make sure my next stop is a good hand washing. You don't need to waste money on antibacterial soap, normal soap does the job just as well. And it's better that the germs get washed down the sink than transferred to your lovely green salad!

The four golden rules are

  1. Always tie back your hair and wash your hands
  2. Never cross contamination use coloured chopping boards!
  3. Always cook meat completely.
  4. And last but definitely not least, Always clean up everything properly after use. Use hot soapy water.
And those are the GOLDEN rules of the kitchen!!!!

Is there a relationship between personal hygiene and hazards in food at restaurants?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is definitely a relationship. Poor personal hygiene is bad for everyone concerned.

The major one that comes to mind is passing Hepatitis A, by being contagious, having a bowel movement and then not washing your hands. Also, you can pass E.coli by not washing your hands. They also have shields called "sneeze guards" at salad bars, because sneezes can pass many diseases to persons who unknowingly eat food that has been sneezed on. Yes heres one example: An employee at Mckings decides to use the restroom before his shift. He then ignores the Wash Your hands sign and exits the restroom. Two things are wrong here, he is the cook and the door now holds e-coli and other germs he was carrying. Later on someone drives through the drive through and orders a double cheeseburger. He prepares it with no gloves on and therefore spreads e-coli on the burger. The customer eats this and later gets violently sick of e-coli posioning.

Why does liquid soap have an expiration date?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fluid cleanser commonly has a lapse date in light of multiple factors:

Fixing Soundness: The fixings in fluid cleanser, like surfactants, scents, and additives, can corrupt over the long haul. This can bring about changes in the cleanser's surface, variety, and adequacy.

Microbial Development: Over the long haul, microbes, shape, and different microorganisms might possibly fill in the cleanser, particularly on the off chance that the bundling isn't impenetrable or on the other hand assuming it's been polluted during use. A termination date guarantees that the cleanser stays protected to utilize.

Quality Affirmation: Makers need to ensure that their items satisfy specific quality guidelines, and indicating a lapse date is essential for that quality control process.

Administrative Necessities: In certain areas, administrative organizations require items like fluid cleanser to have lapse dates to guarantee customer security and item consistency.

It's fundamental to follow the termination date on fluid cleanser to guarantee its viability and wellbeing for use. After the lapse date, the cleanser may not spotless as successfully, and there may be worries about microbial pollution.
