food safety question..

13 years ago

I want to try a recipe I found on a blog that marinates raw poultry pieces, then uses the marinade over the poultry when baking it at 375F for 35-40 minutes-then broiling for a few minutes.

IIRC you can use the marinade if it is boiled, but is this baking time & temp. good enough to kill e-coli and salmonella?

I wouldn't hesitate. The marinade poured over the bird should get as hot for as long as, say, the interior cavity of the chicken. So if you'd eat the one, why not the other. If you've doubts, you could simply microwave the marinade to a boil before pouring it over the bird.

If it's over 160F, It will be OK for healthy adults.

I have a non-preserving food safety question

Thank you, everyone! I forgot the second step of posting last night. This was my reply to Lindalou: No, it was not cold at all. Now I am hoping I don't get sick from what I already ate before I noticed the fridge problem. OR the swig of spoiled carrot juice that alerted me. Luckily there is very little immediately-perishable food in that fridge -- it is mostly seeds, lotions, produce, cheese, stuff like that. Oh, dang, the figs are probably moldy. >Some food borne illnesses can take weeks to incubate in your gut. Can you tell me more about these, so I know what to watch out for? Or just names and I can google :). -- After I went to bed, I remembered I had also eaten fish oil and clam juice out of there. Scary! I had some kind of histamine response last night -- burning pain all over-- which decreased some when I took a prescription dose anti-inflammatory. It's still with me now, though. The pain kept me awake most of the night. It's like what I get when I eat gluten, but without the other symptoms. But there was no gluten. My immune system just does not like something in that stew of microbial toxins I ingested with my meals yesterday :/. No barfing or other GI stuff though, which I guess is good. Today's project: Throw out, clean out, move frozen foods out, thaw fridge overnight and see if that cures it or if I need a new fridge.

So, okay, I really can read most of it, but your translation is much better for getting a sense of the poetry. When I was in college we read some modern Hebrew poetry, which was all about reducing it as much as possible to morphemes rather than separate words, and using words with similar shoreshes rather than rhyming. Works great for poetry, not so much for song, but this one is really pretty. Thank-you. Though One Fish Two Fish is very elegant in Hebrew, if I remember right, and it rhymes. :) Blessings to the translators! I'm surprised you don't like the sound of Hebrew. English used to have velar fricatives (ÃÂ and ÃÂ with no dagesh (not that ÃÂ is pronounced in Hebrew anymore either)). You can see it in the spellings of lots of old words, and sometimes you can hear it in Scotland and Northern England still, but not much. I like a full range of sounds. :) Of course, I was reared more on the sweetness of Geula Gil than the power of Moshe Dyan. :) Back to topic, I hope you've gotten a cooler bag for your lunches?

A Food Safety Question
Q
Comments (25)
My mother-in-law does this constantly. Pots of meat broth and chicken curry are cooked and left out at 80 degree room temperature--for many days at a time. The food is reheated to a boil and then served with a smile. Other cooked foods like hard-boiled eggs or hamburgers are also left unrefrigerated, and consumed days later. Like dcarch, I believe their GI tracts are apparently accustomed to handling whatever bacterial load might be in these meals. Unfortunately, this practice does cause some problems when we visit the in-laws, as I have become paranoid about food that is served. Food poisoning can be extremely dangerous, much beyond GI symptoms. It is a difficult balancing act to maintain courtesy and respect for one's elders while protecting young children from 4-day old soup with heat-stable toxins.

Another food safety question—pepper jelly
Q
Comments (7)
I agree, jelly is one of the safest things you can preserve, the vinegar and sugar make it mostly above suspicion. Pepper jelly does have the low acid peppers in it, so a specific amount of vinegar for appropriate preservation is required, but that would be my only concern. Fruit spreads including jam/jelly/conserve/preserves are so safe that I can prepare them in my home kitchen and sell them at a roadside stand under the Cottage Food Act here. Unless they are moldy or rancid or obviously spoiled in some manner it's nearly impossible to poison someone with jelly. I'm not allowed to do the same with pepper jelly, because of the low acid vegetable component, but it's still pretty safe as a general rule. Annie

Thanks johnliu and dcarch. It will be over 160F and boiling in the microwave is another option-never thought of that.
I don't know why, but the thought of using marinade that has been on raw chicken just kind of makes me gag!

Here's the USDA Fact Sheet (linked below), for more information. It's safe to use when you cook it to a boil first, as the others indicated.

If you are going to cook and eat the refrigerated raw chicken, the refrigerated marinade will be just as edible as the chicken when cooked with the chicken.

Chicken Marbella is cooked like that. The chicken pieces are marinaded all day, then the whole thing is popped into the oven. And it's a fantabulously delicious recipe!

thanks grainlady-good info.

jasdip, mom & jam-it's just a psychological thing (the thought of it) I will try both it and Chicken Marbella!

Although I agree it's safe, the point is if it makes you uncomfortable, throwing a little marinade and making new isn't a major expense nor is it a major time addition. If it makes you uncomfortable the fact is you won't enjoy the food as much and that's not good. We all have our quirks and why lessen the enjoyment of a good meal over something as simple as tossing some marinade. When you get comfortable doing it, you know it's safe and can start doing it. In the meantime, there's no shame in making yourself feel better so you can enjoy it that much more.

I have my own quirks on poultry, especially for cleanliness and I've become more safety conscious over the years and there's times when food has sat a while and I'm not comfortable with it (especially with "today's food"!) so I wind up tossing things that are likely perfectly fine but it just makes me feel better. I try to keep it sane and I hate to waste food but at the same time my own comfort level is important too.
