How to use a food thermometer1. Wash thermometer
with hot soapy water before and after use.
2. Use before the food is expected to be “done.”
3. Place in the thickestpart of the food, not touching bone, fat, or gristle.
4. Compare reading to USDA recommended safe minimum internal temperatures.

Dial thermometers & thin foods
On an “instant-read” dial thermometer, the probe must be inserted in the side of the food so the entire sensing area (usually 2-3 inches) is positioned through the center of the food.

Digital thermometers & thin foods
When possible, use a digital thermometer to measure the temperature of a thin food. The sensing area is only ½- to 1-inch long and easier to place in the center of the food.

How to be cool – part 1
Using a shallow container, limitdepth of food to two inches or less.
Place very hot foods on a rack at room temperature for about 20minutes before refrigeration.
![Page 85: 1 Know how. Know now. 2 University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension in Lancaster County Lincoln–Lancaster County Health Dept. Questions? Email ahenneman1@unl.edu](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c885503460f94940c11/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
85
How to be cool – part 2
Leave container cover slightly cracked until the food has
cooled.
It’s OK to refrigerate foods while they’re still warm.

97
2. Rinse under clean, running water just before preparing or eating. Don’t use soap or detergent as it can get into produce and make you sick.

Wash fruits with peels, such as melons and citrus fruits. Even if peel is removed, bacteria can transfer from the outside to the inside.

EPA and FDA advice for vulnerable groups Don’t eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish.
Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) weekly of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.
5 most commonly eaten fish low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, catfish.
Albacore (“white”) tuna has more mercury than canned light tuna. Limit intake to 6 ounces (one average meal) per week.
Check local advisories about safety of fish caught locally. If no advice is available, eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) weekly of fish caught from local waters, but don't consume any other fish that week.
Follow these same recommendations when feeding fish and shellfish to your young child, but serve smaller portions.
