While spending time together and feasting, it's important to stay safe! Here are some simple food safety tips that can keep you and your loved ones healthy so you can take on Black Friday and the rest of the holiday season.

General Safety

  • Wash hands with soap and water before handling food or eating. If you touch raw meat or poultry it is especially important to wash your hands before handing anything else.
  • Do not cross-contaminate cutting boards, bowls or other surfaces. Keep raw meat and poultry separate from produce and have specific surfaces for each.
  • Wash and sanitize food contact surfaces often.

Turkey Safety

]]> Thanksgiving is a day for the celebration of family, friends and loved ones. While spending time together and feasting, it’s important to stay safe! Here are some simple food safety tips that can keep you and your loved ones healthy so you can take on Black Friday and the rest of the holiday season.

General Safety

  • Wash hands with soap and water before handling food or eating. If you touch raw meat or poultry it is especially important to wash your hands before handing anything else.
  • Do not cross-contaminate cutting boards, bowls or other surfaces. Keep raw meat and poultry separate from produce and have specific surfaces for each.
  • Wash and sanitize food contact surfaces often.

Turkey Safety

  • Thaw turkey in a refrigerator at or below 40°F. Do not thaw on a counter as thawing at room temperature increases bacteria growth on the surface.
  • Use a food thermometer. Every part of the turkey should reach a minimum internal temperature of 165°F. Be sure to check the innermost part of the thighs and wings and the thickest part of the breast to ensure that the turkey is fully cooked. You cannot tell is a turkey is cooked simply by sight.
  • Let the turkey stand for 20 minutes before carving it to allow the juices to set.
  • Stuffing is an excellent environment for bacteria growth, so keeping the turkey and stuffing separate is recommended. If you must stuff your bird, please see this USDA article for safety tips.
  • Carve the turkey with a clean knife and fork; not with a utensil that may have touched it when it was raw.

When Serving

  • Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot.
  • Use clean serving utensils for each dish.
  • If a loved one is running late and you’re waiting to serve, make sure the food is handled “just right.” Do not let cooked food, meat or poultry remain between 40° and 140°F for longer than 2 hours. Cover dishes or wrap them with tin foil to prevent dryness. See this USDA article for more on what you should do with food if guests are running late.

When Storing

  • Do not leave perishable food for longer than 2 hours after cooking is complete.
  • Use shallow storage containers and store in smaller portions so the food cools down faster.
  • If you plan on eating leftovers within 3 days, store in the refrigerator. Otherwise, label and date your food and place it in the freezer.
  • Use gravy within 1 to 2 days.
  • If you are unsure if a leftover is safe to eat, “when in doubt, throw it out.”

Minimum Temperatures

  • Turkey: 165°F
  • Dishes containing eggs: 160°F
  • Pork, beef, lamb, and veal: 160°F
  • Seafood: 145°F
  • Stuffing: 165°F

From the P.C. Richard & Son family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Our stores will be CLOSED on Thanksgiving, so see you on Friday!

Hosted by Toni Senecal, this show takes you all over New York and dishes on the city’s best-kept secrets, tips, and places to go.

Earlier this month, she and her team covered summer gadgets at our store on 23rd Street. Brett Larson covered some great portable products we have available both in-store and at pcrichard.com, including:

Flip Video UltraHD
“Don’t miss a moment of your time outside with the Flip Cam! These inexpensive cameras capture the moment with the push of a button and save from 1 to 2 hours of video. And, they slip right into your pocket when you don’t need them, so it can always be with you.”

Acer Ruby Red Netbook
(Previously covered on our blog as a hot deal) “This netbook will also come in handy for staying connected when you’re on the go. Netbooks sell for under $500, and, like this one from Acer, have Wi-Fi on board so you can connect to the internet while you’re away. Maybe do a little office work from outside the office, or just check your e-mails and surf the web.

FLO TV
(Also previously covered on our blog) “With FLO TV, you’ll be able to catch your favorite television shows wherever you go. The pint-sized devices tune into new digital frequencies and let you watch everything from news to entertainment shows. They come with 6 months of service included.”

PSP Go
“The latest PSP Go is smaller and just as fun. Games come on mini-sized discs that easily slip into your purse, pocket or backpack, and there’s hundreds of titles to choose from. Just be sure you pack plenty of battery power just in case your game goes long.”

Bose SoundDock Series II Digital Music System
“Take your tunes to go and let them sound their best with the Bose speaker to go. Just pop in your iPod or mp3 player and rock out.”

Monster Cable Lady Gaga Heartbeats High Performance In-Ear Headphones
“You don’t have to let the world hear your music with these Lady Gaga headphones. Yes, the Grammy Award-winning Lady Gaga. They’re the same headphones she wore in the video for her song Telephone.”

Monster Cable Dr. Dre Headphones
“If Lady Gaga headphones really aren’t your thing, check out the Beats by Dr. Dre. Drop it like it’s hot, Toni!”

Here’s the clip from the show:

You can catch Toni On! New York on WPIX Saturdays at 6PM.
