Kitchen Hygiene 入廚衛生

新一輯的 "美女廚房" 又上演, 作為家庭觀眾的我也替 "廚師" 們感到危險. 我深信每個人的廚房都有自已的規則, 而从前 Roommate 們的善意破壞往往都把我氣壞! 就讓我不勝其煩, 再由最基本的入廚衛生說起.

1. 熟的食物要放在雪櫃的上面, 生的放下面, 火腿芝士煙肉放最上, 蔬果放最下面的有蓋蔬果格, 飲品要一起放... Roommate K 常常說我煩, 這樣還不是為你好, 因為要防止交叉感染! 萬一食物滴倒汗水, 熟食的水跌在生食物裏也不會有事; 相反的, 後果會不堪設想!

2. 切 生食/肉類 熟食/蔬果 的砧板 (Chopping boards) 也要分開. 亦是同一道理: 以免交叉感染. 而玻璃板又比木板/膠板好, 易洗易乾, 又不滲水.

3. 清潔碗布當然也要分類. 抹潔淨的枱 / 潔淨的杯碟碗 / 過水時 / 抹升盤 等等的布也要分開.

4. 我遇過一個家庭, 他們愛把待用的銀器放在雪櫃裏, 我問朋友為甚麽, 他說他也不知道, 從小便是這樣, 習慣了便不以為然. 跟他們住了一個月後, 發現雪凍後的刀刀叉叉匙舀不但乾淨, 還有一種很冰涼的感覺, 不論是吃冰凍的芒果慕絲蛋糕或熱乎乎的肉醬意粉, 配上涼浸浸的匙舀刀叉後, 感覺真是透心涼! 直到現在, 我也維持着這個習慣!
