It is ok to handle food and clean dishes when you are ill with diarrhea. Wiping off a cutting board between uses is an example of proper cleaning and sanitizing. Keeping pans uncovered and stirring food will help to quickly cool hot foods. Cooling hot foods to 41 F must be completed within eight hours.

(Continued) 8. Cold foods such as eggs, meats and salads must maintain 41 F or less. 9. Hot foods such as cooked meat and poultry, cooked pasta and rice must maintain 135 F or above.
10. Ground beef must be cooked to 140 F to kill harmful bacteria.
A food thermometer can accurately check the internal temperatures of food. Using a steam table or crock pot will quickly reheat foods to 165 F.
