Temp. Probe Contamination !?!?

[mule86]

Yeah, I realize now that I should have put the chicken in the fridge immediately after slicing and then reheated to 165 in the oven.

And I was thinking the same thing about getting sick 48 hours after eating the chicken, and so far, only two have gotten sick and they watched my daughter (who is now sick) on Saturday as well as being around her Sunday evening? However, I read where food poisiong can show up up to six weeks after eating the contaminated food?!?!

Where can you get the alcohol patches that can be used to sanitize the probe? Would a lysol disinfectant wipe work as well?

i have never heard of this but i'm no expert in endocronology.........there might be something out there that might make it possible.......i guess.

most drug stores carry them and they are cheaper and mor convinient than the wipes.....but they should be fine too....i just wouldn't like the scented ones. smoked "fresh breeze" pork ribs don't sound too fun...........

I just bought these online:

Nothing like a little paranoia about possibly getting people sick to get educated about this stuff. I'm always conscious of food safety, but now I feel like I've got a lot better understanding to feel confident about cooking for others again.

there is no need to be paranoid when it comes to cooking/smoking...we just need to use safe practices and have fun. and those will work fine......there should be a cheaper alernative out thee some where.....i don't know cuz i don't have to pay for them. the reason i said a drug store is because of people with diabetes who need to administer insulin to themselves....just a thought.
