3 places germs might be hiding in your kitchen
>>FROM PAGE 2
The InstaView model also lets you see what’s inside before you open the door. Just knock twice on the tinted glass panel to illumi- nate, and you can find what you need without letting all the cold air escape. Both of these features will keep food surrounded with fresh, cool air, so everything stays fresher, longer.
2. YOUR DISHWASHING STATION
Be honest. How long has that kitchen towel been hanging on that loop by the kitchen sink? A week? A month? Can’t remember? If you’re not careful about how often you wash your towels, your kitchen rags could become a breed- ing ground for dangerous, stomach-sickening germs.
According to research- ers from the University of Mauritius, towels can de- velop some nasty bacte- ria — the kind that causes foodborne illnesses — when they’re used for a full month. Yuck! And don’t forget the kitchen sink sponge. Other research suggests this so- called cleaning tool harbors
some of the nastiest germs, with three-quarters of them contaminated with coliform bacteria, according to a study completed by NSF International.
To keep things cleaner, get into the habit of grabbing a clean towel every few days. Sponges should not be used for longer than two weeks.
3. YOUR FOOD PREP SURFACES
Whether you’re making your lunchtime sandwich or chopping veggies for din- ner, don’t be deceived by the spotless appearance of your countertops, sinks and cutting boards. The NSF study discovered that fecal coliform has a presence on
these surfaces — 45 per- cent of kitchen sinks, 32 percent of countertops and 18 percent of cutting boards. Even if these are wiped or rinsed daily, it’s important to take the extra step to keep bacteria from lingering on these surfaces where they can contaminate your food. Before you gather your in-
gredients, wash all meal prep areas with hot, soapy water. Now that you know what to do to combat hidden bac- teria lurking in your kitchen, you can prepare meals and feed your family with much
greater peace of mind.
