Food Safety
• Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Wash hands, utensils and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Throughly
• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on
the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check
for visual signs of doneness.
• Whole poultry should reach 180 F; breasts 170 F. Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach
160 F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef,
veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to
145 F. All cuts of pork should reach 160 F.
• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grill to 165 F, or until steaming hot.
