Parties and events

When you're making food for large numbers of people it's especially important to keep food safe. Here are some practical tips.
  • Try to plan ahead. If you can prepare food in advance, this should help to reduce the pressure.
  • Keep foods out of the fridge for the shortest time possible.
  • If you're short of space in the fridge, take out wine and beer, and put it somewhere cold, such as the cellar or garage, or in buckets of ice.
  • Even if people are waiting to eat, don't reduce cooking times.
  • Always make sure food is properly cooked before you serve it.
