31 Common Food, Cooking Mistakes That Could POISON You 👈 Begin here.
- Defrosting food on the counter
Defrost frozen food as quickly as possible to avoid food poisoning – that means not leaving it out on the kitchen table all day. Defrosting food in the refrigerator overnight is the best option, as it keeps food out of the bacteria ‘danger zone’ – this is temperatures between 46-140°F. Defrost meat on a plate or in a container, too, so juices don't drip onto other foods.
