Johnson Brothers Ironstone – Kitchen Safety Tips

Many people die from bacteria in the kitchen and mishandling. You do not know what microorganisms and bacteria are around your kitchen. To make sure you’re eating healthy, the following information will help you handle and prepare your food to avoid contamination.

1. Store your Johnson Brothers Ironstone dinnerware in secure, locked cabinets.

2. Do not thaw your food at room temperature. Thawing at room temperature takes a long time and you don’t know what microorganisms have gotten into your food. You can place your food on a plate, place it in the refrigerator, or use the oven.

3. Always wash your hands with soap and water before and after handling and preparing your food.

4. Always marinate your food in the refrigerator. Use a refrigerator-safe dish like Johnson Brothers Ironstone for marinating.

5. Serve your food on clean dishes. Make sure you have thoroughly washed your dishes with a clean sponge.

6. If you have leftovers, refrigerate them for future consumption. Do not store cooked food at room temperature. There’s no need to transfer your food to a new container, all you have to do is cover your serving dish with another dish, as Ironstone is refrigerator safe.

7. Always thoroughly clean your Ironstone plates after work. You have to clean countertops and other utensils with soap and water before and after preparing your food. If you have a dishwasher, make sure your utensils are dishwasher safe like the Ironstone collection.

8. Finally, take note of these principles:

* Germs can be anywhere, even in the air. Most of them live in the kitchen sink and dirty dishes are left uncleaned.

* Some germs die at cold temperatures. Some die during the heating process.

* Germs multiply quickly in damp, dirty areas. Therefore, every place and every utensil you use in the kitchen must be clean and dry.
