attending are asked to bring
either a salad or dessert.
Hansell and McCarty hope

By MOMN E

OSU Extension Service
"I hate to waste food, but I
sure don't want to make
everybody sick, either!" This
is a plea that is heard often at
the extension office. Most
people who call want to be
reassured that it's OK to go
a lead and eat i Food is
expensive and it does make
you feel bad if you have to
throw it away because you
didn't take proper care of it.
We have a very safe and
sanitary food supply when you
compare it to other places
around the world, but we do
have some bad habits that
many of us don't even realize.
There is really a very sim
ple formula that can create
food that is unsafe. You com
bine food that is a good host
to bacteria, the wrong tem
perature and time, and it can
add up to somebody getting
sick. In fact. I have a friend
who said. "I leave food out
all the time, is that bad?" I
asked her if she ever got the
flu. "Yes. all the lime." It was
the perfect answer.
What are the foods that are
a good host to bacteria? Meat,
poultry, fish, combination
dishes like soups or casse
roles, cooked vegetables,
cracked or cooked eggs and
egg dishes. There is a particu
larly good chance for bacteria
to be present if the foods are
handled after cooking, such as
poultry that you cook and
them remove from the bone,
or hard cooked eggs that are
deviled.
You can expect that bac
teria exist everywhere. They
are in the dust, on every sur
face, on the food itself, on
your pets and on you. When
small numbers multiply, they
are greater problems. Bacte
ria need three things to sur
vive and reproduce: food,
warmth and moisture. When
they have these three things
they grow at a surprising
clip a new generation every
10 to 18 minutes. That means
they double their numbers
that of ten. So. if you start with
two then in three hours there
can be 258.432 a large num
ber for sure !
The temperature that is
great for this fast incre s is
room temperature. They don't
do well in cold and they don't
like hot. So to keep them in
Agricultural Sciences." he
said. "I feel we. as alumni,
can help advise and evaluate
college programs at OSU."
Memberships in the associ
ation are now availab e. von
Borstel said. During the first
vear. special charter mem
berships are available for $50.
which includes sddhe $10
yearly dues. Persons may
choose either the charter
membership or the yearly
dues.
Additional information
about the association will be
available at the barbecue.
safe numbers vou can refri
gerate things or keep them
hot. at least 140 degrees.
"Keep hot foods hot and cold
foods cold" is a great motto
for food safety.
The time it takes to multiply
to unsafe numbers can be a
rather short three hours, and
this means all the hours at
room temperature combined.
That includes time it sat at
room temperature after it was
thawed, time it sat on the table
before you cleared and put it
away and the time you left it
out when you age it as left
overs, so the sooner you put
food away, the less chance
there is for the food to spoil.
So. what are our bad habits?
One bad habit I've really
become aware of lately is
leaving the food out. We leave
food out too long at pot lucks,
at parties, while we're thaw
ing it and when cooling things
down to refrigerate them.
There's a myth that things
need to cool down to room
temperature or it will be bad
for the refrigerator. This habit
is one that started with ice
boxes w hen you didn't want to
melt the ice. The modern
refrigerator is very capable of
cooling things down rapidly.
If you have a large pot of
something such as soup, you
can hurry the cooling down
process by putting the pan of
hot food into a sink of cold
water. Stir the food and as the
water warms up. change to
cold again. Refrigerate before
an hour is up. A large quantity
of food should be put into
shallow containers so it
doesn't take long for the cold
in the refrigerator to pene
trate. When you know it's going to
be a while before you eat the
food, make arrangements to
keep it on ice or keep it hot or
plan to have something that
doesn't support the growth of
germs. Maybe you could take
something like bread, canned
goods, cheese, peanut butter
or fruits.
Another habit that is impor
tant is to keep things clean.
That means ourselves and the
surfaces we use to prepare
things. Wash your hands with
soap and water and don't
touch sores or your hair or
pets or their dishes while
you're handling food. After
you prepare raw meats or
poultry, be sure to wash your
hands well.

A spring meeting of the
Eastern Oregon Swim District
was held April 9 at Frasu's in
Hermiston. Gary and Nancy
Bruch of Heppner represented
the Heppner Swim Team at
the meeting.
If vou handle raw meat or
poultry on one surface, such a
as the counter or a plate, then
don't use that same surface
for the cooked food.
Disinfect cutting boards
with diluted bleach after cut
ting meat or poultry, so germs
can't be transferred to your
salad or other foods you'll
serve raw.
Be aware of what is in the
food It's perfectly all right to
have a fruit pie kept at room
temperature, but if it's cis
tard. a quiche, cream pie or
pumpkin, it's a good host for
bacteria so it needs refrigera
tion. One important way to make
vour food dollar go further is
to keep food safe and avoid
wasting it. Knowing the prin
ciples of food safety can help
you do this wisely.
Stewed Chicken
Put a chicken, either whole
or cut up. frozen or from the
refrigerator, into a pan. Add
just enough water to barely
cover. Add a cut-up onion, a
celerv stalk, a carrot and
about 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to
a boil and simmer until
tender, about I hour (a stew
ing hen will take about 2
hours). Then place, the pan
into a sink full of cola water to
cool the broth and meat rapid
ly Stir the mixture and
change the water in the sink if
it becomes warm. This pro
cess should take only about 10
or 15 minutes.
Pour the broth through a
strainer and into another pan
or refrigerator container. Re
frigerate. Then immediately
take the meat from the bones,
being sure to have your hands
washed and surfaces clean.
Refrigerate.
