How to store food properly in the freezer and fridge

Handling Food Safely

Raw meat, poultry and fish should be kept away from other foods so they don't contaminate them.

(This is why many fridges have a meat compartment in the bottom of the fridge ; Also always wash your hands before and after handling food, whether cooking or putting it away.

The freezer should be below 18 degree and the fish below 2.

Hardrock Cafe Kitchen

After visiting the kitchen at Hardrock cafe in Copenhagen, I had a great talk with Debra the kitchen manager.

I got some answers to my kitchen, the kitchen has 22 cooks and they work in different shifts.

The kitchen is divided into two section one where the food is been prepared and the other is the cooking area.

The staff has a different rest room from the customer.

The cooks are required to wash their hands before and after handling the food, after touching raw meat and eggs as well.

Story behind the campaign

Everybody dreams of having an iPad, so i decided to make a campaign with an idea of wining an iPad.

I have two participant the teddy and duck , they are to wash their hands by finding dettol non-touch wash system, but swarms of bacteria block their way. To help them escape from this nasty bacteria you have join them and fight the bacteriaand win iPad 2.

Today we had the midway meeting and showcase, I got some ideas after talking with the teachers on how I can make my video..

Ideas

Since not many remembers to wash their hands am thinking on how I can promote hand washing towards the cooks. Making a video showing steps to wash the hands wold be great.. But well I have to get my movie maker ready..

The other idea was to make a website but this dint fit since not many would have time to visit a website to look for hand washing. Am left with an idea of making a campaign on face book page.

visiting the kitchen

Today I visited one of the kitchen in Copenhagen Astor Restaurant. I talked with the manager and he was very positive and inspired by the project we are doing. He allowed me to crush in the kitchen and talk with the cooks and i was inspired by the clean environment they have.

Well they gave me answers on my question i had for them. The problem they have is that most of them tend to forget washing their hands of which is a vital problem. They gave some reasons that they forgot or they are busy. I asked them what they can do to remember to wash their hands and one of the employee said they can have a screen in the rest room and also in their canteen. Which was super great idea since that what i have in mind, making a video....
