Food safety tips

Always wash your hands, work surfaces, utensils and chopping boards before you start and after handling raw meat. Keep raw meat away from ready-to-eat foods such as salad, fruit and bread. Any leftovers should be cooled within 1-2 hours and placed in the fridge (for up to 2 days) or frozen. When reheating always make sure that the dish is steaming hot all the way through before serving, never re-heat food more than once.
