Tips: Picnic and Cookout Food Safety Tips

  • To make freezer packs for your coolers, make juice and pour into plastic pop bottles, leaving room at the top for expansion. Freeze, then add to your cooler. Saves space you get to drink it when its defrosted. Perfect for hot sunny days. Lorna Ontario, Canada new (Added: 12-Jan-2005)
  • For Egg and/or Potato Salad ...Scramble the eggs instead of hard boiling..(NO white pieces)...CHILL..and then add remaining ingredients... Janet H. Kansas City,MO. new (Added: 13-May-2004)
  • Freeze left-over coffee or tea in cubes. Use the cubes in iced coffee or tea to keep your drink cold and to keep the flavor from becoming watered down. Cheri new (Added: 14-Jun-2004)
  • Reheat precooked meats until steaming hot. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • If you're planning on take-out foods such as fried chicken or barbecued beef, eat them within two hours of pick-up or buy ahead of time and chill completely before packing the foods into the cooler. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Pack foods in the cooler in the order opposite of how you'll be using them. In other words, pack the food you'll need last at the bottom and so on. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Never reuse marinades that have come in contact with raw meat, chicken or fish, and don't put the cooked food back into an unwashed container or dish that contained the marinade. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • When taking foods off the grill, put them on a clean plate, not the same platter that held raw meat. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • To clean foods that have burnt on a barbecue grill, enclose them in a large plastic garbage bag. Mix 1 cup baking soda with 1/2 cup ammonia, pour over the grills, close the bag and let sit overnight. The burnt on pieces will have loosened making the grills easy to clean.

  • When preparing dishes like chicken or cooked meat salads, use chilled ingredients. In other words, make sure your cooked chicken has been cooked and chilled before it gets mixed with other salad ingredients. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
