Why do ( we ) humans have to cook our  Foods

We actually don't have to cook our food and there are many meat dishes such as sushi and steak tartar, which are served raw. In general, however, food is cooked for health concerns. For instance there are several types of parasites and pathogenic bacteria that can be transmitted to humans by eating uncooked or poorly cooked meat. By cooking the meat properly, these organisms are killed. For most of us, these infections might make our lives a little unpleasant, but would probably not kill us. However, because such a high concern in modern western society is focused on quality of life, we choose to do whatever is necessary to limit any unnecessary unpleasant.

Some temperature to prevent some diseases

Use a fridge thermometer to check the temperature of your fridge regularly. The coldest part of the fridge should be between 0 deg C and  5  C

You could use a probe thermometer to check if food is being

Kept hot (above 63 deg C) or cold (below 8 deg C). Make sure you always clean the thermometer thoroughly every time you use it, before and after putting it in the food.

 

 

 

Hot foods

Hot foods must be stored above 63 deg C to prevent the excessive growth of bacteria. Hot foods can be kept below this temperature for a maximum of two hours before being used, returned to above 63 deg C or chilled.

 

Chilled storage of foods

Some foods need to be kept chilled to keep them safe, for example food with a ‘use by’ date, food that you have cooked and won’t serve immediately, or other ready-to-eat food such as prepared salads. If these foods are not properly chilled, bacteria can grow and make people ill.
