Giveaway! Keep Your Kitchen Safe and Clean with KitchenAid Appliances

A sanitized kitchen is the secret ingredient to creating healthy, tasty treats! You don’t want any germs from food lurking around.

With KitchenAid kitchen countertop appliances, you can keep your kitchen sparkling clean and your family safe. 

Did you know that 48 million Americans get sick from a foodborne illness every year? Causes range from improper food storage and handling to inadequate sanitation practices and a variety of other factors, with a significant portion coming from the home. While it may seem overwhelming, there are a few things you can do to minimize your risk of contracting a foodborne illness.

Step 1: Wash Your Hands Frequently 

Anytime your hands become contaminated–think after sneezing or coughing, using the restroom, smoking, or handling raw meat–wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds. Otherwise, you are leaving yourself vulnerable to foodborne germs.

Step 2: Keep Your Counters and Food Storage Areas Clean and Sanitized 

This means removing stubborn food particles from the pantry, refrigerator, freezer, counters, and floors. A clean kitchen can be deceptive; surfaces might look clean but still harbor harmful germs. Use a sanitizing spray after cleaning to ensure all surfaces are truly sanitized.

Step 3: Follow Food Safety Practices for Storing and Handling Food 

Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold at the prescribed temperatures, and store food in a way that prevents contamination. For example, keep raw foods separate from cooked foods, and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of preparation (the sooner, the better).

These steps are easy to follow and significantly reduce your risk of foodborne illness. So, how do KitchenAid kitchen appliances help you maintain a safe and clean kitchen?
