Facebook feedback…• Glad to see Safefood endorsing the 5 second rule! I'll

remember that next time I drop a chicken fillet...should one also cook the fluff and dust that sticks to it?

• There's be no panic of bacteria in hot oil at 180*c• Did anyone see the chef using the brown tray for thr raw

chicken prior to cooking, he used the same tray without wiping it for the cooked chicken.

• How do you know it was the same tray???

• I was expecting more Healthy options as well as beating the clock and taste. But I did enjoy it.

• I made grilled turkey breast with couscous and fresh salad the other day. Took all of 15 mins to lash together. Really low fat too!

• Will he come round and wash my dishes I think not• Well done. made me hungry, now off to the Chipper :)
