Hello my name is Dr. Susan Jewell and on behalf of expert village, I am going to talk to you
about how to recognize and how to reduce the risk of getting food poisoning. Now, one of
the main, common causes of food poisoning is eating meats. And, I think that, unprepared
cooked meat is the number one culprit of many cases of food poisoning. Now, when you're
cooking meat you always make sure that it cooks thoroughly right to the center that
you don't see any pink or any blood oozing out of the meat when you cut it up. Now, a
good device to get which is quite cheap and I've got one here that I bought from the local
super market and it only cost like three dollars, is a meat thermometer. So, what you do is,
you can see that, on here, it has a calibration in terms of the temperature and next to it
would be the recommended temperature heat for each particular food. So, there poultry,
lamb, there's ham, and what you do is that, when the, before you cook the meat in the
oven, you put, you stick the thermometer into the piece of meat, right into the center,
in the deepest portion of the meat. And, you keep that in the here, you can put it into
the oven, and you can tell, when you bring out the meat, to see what temperature it's
at. And this would guarantee that the meat is cooked thoroughly and that would decrease
the risk of getting food poisoning. This is an important implement for couple of dollars
to decrease the pain and suffering of getting food poisoning.
