From: Larry on 15 Jun 2007 10:16 What is considered cross contamination? If a grill (flat solid grill; restaurant style) is used for pancakes, grilled cheese, & etc. and then I get eggs or a hamburger, is that crossed-contaminated? I have the chef to scrap and clean the grill before she cooks anything for me. Is this considered safe? If not, is there a safe way to still have food cooked on the grill? Thank You!

Yes, that is cross-contaminated. > I have the chef to scrap and clean the > grill before she cooks anything for me. Is this considered > safe?

Sucks to be us. -- }:-) Christopher Jahn {:-( http://soflatheatre.blogspot.com/ He's a trash-culture king on a four-color throne

Please remember that different people have different sensitivities. You may not be affected by the small amount of gluten left on a grill after they fry up french toast, while someone else may end up in the bathroom for a day. But if they are not using seperate equipment, it IS absolutely contaminated. It's always a risk, but only the individual can decide if it's safe for them or not. -- }:-) Christopher Jahn {:-( http://soflatheatre.blogspot.com/ I like you, Sali.

I no longer eat things cooked on a griddle. I tried in my early days. The fellow at work would keep one side clean for me. He kept two spatulas. But it didn't work. Cleaning just smears the contamination all around. In my very early days I was even less careful. One of my worst contaminations was when the cook cut my mother's Ruben with the side of the spatula and then picked up my burger with it. So, to sum it up, avoid griddles. As for grills, they generally only have meat on them. I am though leery of grills when they have had veggie burgers on them. Don <www.donwiss.com> (e-mail link at home page bottom). |
