Cook Poultry and Game Dishes

Which among the recipe is an example of Moist Heat Method?

Foods prepared a day or more before they are served.

Failure to thoroughly heat or cook food.

Cross-contamination of cooked foods through properly cleaned equipment.

Failure to reheat foods to temperature that kills bacteria.

Infected employees/workers because of poor personal hygiene practices.

The fat distribution and maturity of the fowl does not affect the quality of the product. Mature birds are best cooked using moist heat. Dry is suitable for young birds.

The best cooking temperature for poultry is at low to moderate heat. This temperature range produces a more flavorful and tender product. This also minimizes nutrient loss and shrinkage of meat

To prevent the risk of microbial contamination, stuffing of turkey and chicken should be done immediately before roasting. It is best not to fill the cavity completely as this will prevent the poultry from being thoroughly cooked.

Because of its susceptibility to microbial growth, cooked poultry should be eaten the following day  and no need to refrigerate if not consumed. Left over stuffing should be stored separately to prevent contamination

When roasting chicken, cuts should be placed with the breast-side down to produce a juicier and tendered product.
