Experts at the Food Standards Agency have advised the best way to defrost and cook your Christmas dinner, explaining why you should never wash raw meat. 

With Christmas soon upon us, the pressure to cook the perfect festive feast can be quite the burden, that is why food hygiene experts have shared the key to success.   

There are an estimated 2.4 million cases of food poisoning each year in the United Kingdom, so it is essential to maintain good food hygiene, especially at Christmas.  

By following these simple tips, you can make sure you are cooking your Christmas dinner the best and safest possible way.

Experts from the Food Standards Agency have advised the safest way to defrost your turkeys and cook the best Christmas dinner

How do you defrost a turkey?

If a turkey is frozen, you will need to check the guidance on the packaging in advance. 

Some turkeys can be cooked from frozen if the instructions say so. However, most frozen turkeys will need to be defrosted – which will require planning in advance. 

Experts say that a whole turkey can take between 3 to 5 days to properly defrost, so you may want to think ahead.

For the safest food hygiene this Christmas, do not defrost your turkey at room temperature – instead, you should defrost your turkey in the fridge in a container large enough to catch the liquid that comes out during thawing. 

By taking these steps, you avoid cross-contamination. 

If your turkey is not fully defrosted before cooking, it may cook unevenly. This means harmful bacteria can survive the cooking process and you will be at risk of food poisoning.

Also, always ensure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling any part of the raw turkey.

In most cases, frozen turkeys will typically provide instructions on the correct way to defrost and cook them

In most cases, frozen turkeys will typically provide instructions on the correct way to defrost and cook them

The best way to cook your turkey:

Do not wash raw turkey before cooking. Washing raw meat spreads germs onto your hands, clothes, utensils and worktops. Thorough cooking will kill any bacteria present.

When cooking your turkey, always check the packaging advice and follow the instructions provided. 

A stuffed turkey will take a longer time to cook, so instead, cook your stuffing in a separate roasting tin, not inside the turkey.  

If there are no cooking instructions, preheat your oven to 180ºC (350ºF or Gas Mark 4) and allow:

  • 45 minutes per kg plus 20 minutes for a turkey that weighs under 4.5kg 
  • 40 minutes per kg for a turkey that weighs between 4.5kg and 6.5kg 
  • 35 minutes per kg for a turkey that weighs over 6.5kg

Make sure your turkey is steaming hot and cooked all the way through.

If you do not have a meat thermometer or temperature probe, cut into the thickest part of the meat, check that none of the meat is pink and that any juices run clear.

Remember to fully clean the temperature probe or cooking thermometer after each use to avoid cross-contamination.

Make sure your turkey is steaming hot and cooked all the way through to enjoy your festive feast safely

Freezing and defrosting turkey leftovers:

It is safe to freeze most foods, this includes raw and cooked meats, fruit, potatoes (after boiling for five minutes), grated cheese, and eggs. 

When food defrosts, its core temperature rises. This provides the ideal conditions for bacteria to grow if left at room temperature. 

Therefore, is best to defrost food slowly and safely in the fridge.

You can also defrost your leftovers thoroughly in a microwave as long as you make sure you reheat until steaming hot – once the food is defrosted it will need to be eaten within 24 hours.

Meet Hot Aperol, the Spritz’s Winter Relative

Meet Hot Aperol, the Spritz’s Winter Relative

By now, you and everybody from the Italian Riviera to your favored suburban bar is familiar with the Aperol Spritz. It’s the perennial drink of the summer for a rationale. But the glowing cocktail has lengthy overshadowed its wintertime cousin, very hot Aperol. Jointly, the two make the case for preserving the aperitivo liqueur as a year-spherical backbar staple.

&#13

At the Xmas markets of Vienna, Austria, most site visitors find out commemorative mugs of sticky-sweet glühwein, also known as mulled wine, and punsch, a blend of tea, spices and rum or brandy. But on a recent visit, a market place stall indicator for a vivid orange drink caught my eye. I watched as a seller poured steaming liquid into a wide-mouthed wine goblet, the signature Aperol Spritz glass, on bank loan for a small charge to be returned when I completed. 

&#13
&#13

While the vintage Aperol Spritz depends on its namesake aperitivo liqueur, prosecco and soda water, the warm edition substitutes white wine for the bubbles. Fruit juices, either apple or orange, and optional mulling spices like orange peel, cinnamon and clove provide even more depth of flavor. The scorching Aperol has all of the gratification of its refreshing summertime counterpart, with all of the warming consequences vital to this time of calendar year. And in contrast to the market’s other seasonal choices, warm Aperol is significantly a lot more nuanced in flavor, with the familiar hit of orange that I really like about the spritz, without the need of the lingering sugary feeling of glühwein or punsch. 

&#13
&#13

Even though it is most commonly discovered through the getaway season in Christmas marketplaces, specially in Austria and Germany, bars and cafés across Europe also make the winter season spritz different. The drink has risen in recognition in current years, specifically as the spritz itself has catapulted to around the globe prominence.

&#13

The natural way, each individual sizzling Aperol recipe may differ based on the position and the bartender. At marketplaces across Europe, other twists abound, like the Scorching Pinky, which swaps out white wine for rosé and adds floral rose syrup, and the Sizzling Kiss, which is topped with whipped product in a additional dessert-like preparation. At Café Katzung in Innsbruck, Austria, which starts off serving its variation just about every October, homeowners Ursula and Jakob Dengg choose for dry white wine, with just a sprint of orange juice, and no apple juice, for a a lot less-sweet consider on the staple. And Jessica King, co-owner of Brother Wolf in Knoxville, Tennessee, would make a variation encouraged by the holiday—and chilly and flu—season, incorporating vitamin C powder, solitary malt Scotch and Chinotto soda to the mix. 

&#13

Certainly, like the spritz, the structure is a versatile just one, with the identical straightforward-to-drink and craveable quality of the original. As King says of her medicinal-motivated cocktail, it’s deserving of “a daily dose” every wintertime.

These 11 Kitchen Tools I’m Obsessed With Are Also Amazing Last-Minute Gifts

These 11 Kitchen Tools I’m Obsessed With Are Also Amazing Last-Minute Gifts

This story is part of Gift Guide, our year-round collection of the best gift ideas.

Cheap pans, hand-me-down dishes, thin, generic cutlery: I spent years using starter cookware like anyone else. But once I was able to invest in quality kitchen gear I actually cared about, the most amazing thing happened. I became a better cook. Part of that surely has to do with experience points. But I peg at least some of my improvement on higher-performing tools and actually caring about the implements I use as part of the cooking process.

While I’ll probably never stop gushing about these incredibly useful kitchen tools under $25 that I don’t want to live without, there are also some favorite cooking items that I’m convinced are worth the bigger bucks — and they also happen to make great gifts. 

Don’t worry, I’m not talking about $500 single-use gadget that sees the light of day once a year. I’m talking about practical cooking tools I use weekly and sometimes daily in my tiny galley kitchen. And I stand by every single one of them. I’m confident that if any of these kitchen items strike your fancy, they’ll soon become your favorites, too.

Staub

Lodge and Le Creuset are terrific, tried-and-tested Dutch ovens that cook a variety of food evenly. But I couldn’t be happier with this tall-sided 5-quart Staub Cocotte, which comes in an array of colors for pretty much any style. With a cast iron core, it isn’t light, but it is uniformly excellent. In fact, it’s my go-to cooking vessel for most things, and it goes from stove to oven to table to fridge flawlessly. My brother got a smaller model that he uses for proofing and baking bread, which goes to show the versatility of this pot.

Breville

I had an inexpensive pair of electric beaters that always gave me trouble — ditching it for this Breville Handy Mix Scraper was one of the best decisions I made, especially during this season of abundant baking. This mixer seriously does it all: It comes with whisks, creamer inserts and dough hooks! It has a built-in light so you can see what’s in the bowl! There’s a stopwatch feature so you can see how long you’ve been mixing and a pause button that keeps track of your speed settings and time while you take a break to scrape down the bowl! The cord base can rotate to get out of your way! And it has a convenient storage situation where you can keep all the beater wands!

I’ve owned an immersion blender for years, but recently upgraded myself to the Braun MultiQuick 7 for its robust design, powerful motor and fun extras, like a mini food processor attachment (like, for making quick work of onions and herbs) and a balloon whisk attachment for quickly whipping or whisking without having to go full-bore with the electric beaters. 

I use this tool constantly, to process soups right in the pan, make salsa in the included beaker, whip cream into soft peaks and make quick work of pulverizing onion without hefting the food processor to the counter. It’s also wonderfully easy to clean and dry, and small and light enough to pull out from the pantry any time I need it. I can’t recommend it enough.

I may have spoiled myself buying the Google Nest Hub smart speaker display for my kitchen. I have it set up on a riser shelf on my counter, next to a phone stand where I can also keep my phone away from the worst of tea splatters and flying onions. I use the Nest Hub for everyday things like checking the weather as I’m making my morning cuppa and playing music (with song lyrics!) while I cook. I use the two hands-free timers multiple times a day, and look up recipes on the screen (you can follow these step-by-step). 

There’s also an extra function where you can program the Nest Hub to forgo the “OK, Google” or “Hey, Google” wake word when you look at it and start listening to you with just a glance (Google calls this Look and Talk). That’s ultra convenient for saving some time and breath every time you want to ask for unit conversion measures, adding to or canceling a timer and skipping to the next track.

Shun

I have lusted after Shun Premier knives for over a decade and finally bought two for my new kitchen: the 8-inch chef’s knife and a 3.5-inch paring knife. Over Black Friday, I added a 7-inch Santoku blade to the mix. I adore the way the rounded handles balance, and the stunning, wavy pattern on the forged blade boasts an edge designed to hold sharpness far longer than average. That’s good for me, because the sound of knife sharpening sets my every tooth, bone and neuron on fire.

Shun Premier knives come in gray and brown wood handle options. The Classic knives are cheaper and also very good (yes, I’ve tried them out, too). But my heart belongs to the Premier line for the way they feel in my hand, and the extra aesthetics on the blade (69 layers of Damascus steel, if you’re wondering). I store them in a drawer with a blade guard case to protect the knife sharpness (and my fingers). Here are other recommended chef’s knives as well.

Amazon

Zojirushi has an excellent reputation for countertop appliances that hit the high-water mark. I’ve been beyond happy with my Neuro Fuzzy rice cooker since I bought it earlier this year. My pantry is stuffed with six kinds of rice and at least four other grains I routinely cook up. The settings are easy to use and whether I wash the grains or not, whatever I’m making comes out evenly cooked. Plus, it plays a song when starting and ending a cycle, which is much nicer than a loud beep or buzz.

The Neuro Fuzzy in particular takes up more counter space than the most compact models, and rice can take an hour for a typical cycle of even cooking. But there are lots of settings, including a quick cook mode, and cleanup is easy. (Here are meals you can make in the rice cooker other than rice.)

Breville

Buying the Breville Smart Oven Pro Toaster Oven (BOV845BSS) was one of my best kitchen decisions. It toasts, it broils, it roasts. And since it has a convection oven function, you can totally skip the separate air fryer — and cook more stuff at once. I love the countdown clock that takes the mystery out of when your food will be done, and I love that I can bake a single batch of cookies or toast walnuts faster than a standard oven, and without having to heat the whole thing first. Plus, the brushed stainless steel body looks pretty great on my countertop.

Le Creuset dutch ovens are all the rage (I actually really love my Staub Cocotte), but one of the best gifts I ever received was this Le Creuset casserole dish that can go straight from oven to table (to fridge!) while cooking food evenly and looking awesome. I would buy this all over again, and gift it, too. It comes in a range of striking colors, and shockingly cleans easily — with a little soak in soapy hot water and a dirt-cheap pan scraper. I’m the kind of person who excels at ruining dutch ovens with burned-on spots. After a couple years, this dish has remained spot-free, even after roasting dark, sticky stews (yum!).

A workhorse apron is worth its weight in gold. I’m thankful I finally stumbled on Hedley & Bennett, which makes a seemingly endless supply of thick, sturdy aprons I now can’t fail to miss seeing seemingly any time I walk into a restaurant. If these aprons can handle the stresses of a professional kitchen, they can handle the flying sauces and batter in mine. I bought myself two styles, including a Cookie Monster print that never fails to make my inner child giggle. The apron’s neck loop is adjustable, there are a lot of pockets, and so far the waist straps haven’t gotten scrunched, twisted or mangled in the washer or dryer.

I’m not the kind of wine enthusiast who owns a different glass for every varietal — not yet, anyway. Instead, I opt for one all-rounder that will work beautifully no matter which bottle I open, erring on the side of big, bold reds. I’ve been using these “Burgundy” glasses from Schott Zwiesel for years, and my Amazon search history told me I bought them five times, twice for myself and three times as a gift. Yes, I do drink white wine, rose and sparkling out of them (gasp!), and they all taste terrific. Better in my mind to drink from a glass with a too-big bowl than a cramped glass that stifles all that great wine nose.

If you don’t use an electric kettle yet, drop everything and get yourself one. This indispensable kitchen savior rapidly heats water for tea, coffee and hot chocolate, and it gives you a head start on boiling vats of water for pasta, blanching or anything else you need. I’ve owned and gifted a lot of electric kettles, and most work about the same way. This Zwilling Enfingy Electric Kettle has a sleeker, more sophisticated look and variable temperature controls. I also like that it’s got a cool-touch exterior that won’t burn you when you pick it up. 

There’s no viewing window for water height and you have to feel comfortable with capacitive controls that you press and hold, but these aren’t deal-breakers for me by any means.

Omnibus expands summer school meal assistance but cuts emergency SNAP

Omnibus expands summer school meal assistance but cuts emergency SNAP

Remark

The $1.7 trillion paying out bill being debated in the Senate on Wednesday is a major acquire for child nourishment advocates, but it will come at a cost.

The measure would give hundreds of thousands of small children less difficult accessibility to nutritious food items through the summer months. But to pay for the new benefits, Congress will lessen pandemic-era investments in foodstuff support programs for meals-insecure People.

The compromise included in the spending bill, which need to go this week to avert a government shutdown, is a person of a lot of trade-offs Democrats and Republicans manufactured as they cobbled the bill alongside one another in the narrowly divided Congress.

The Senate voted 70-25 on Tuesday to start debate on the 4,155-web site measure, recognized in congressional parlance as an omnibus, which would fund important components of President Biden’s economic agenda. It would boost defense plans, lengthen Medicaid, enable Us residents conserve for retirement and supply an further $44.9 billion in crisis army and economic aid for Ukraine, amongst other provisions.

The baby nourishment gains would be the first new, permanent federal food items aid program of this magnitude enacted in just about 50 many years, advocates say. They would create a debit card plan starting the summer time of 2024 that supplies small-revenue family members with a $40 grocery profit for every child for every thirty day period, modified for inflation. Young ones would be qualified for these benefits if they qualify for no cost or minimized-price tag college meals and can be routinely enrolled.

Pandemic growth of faculty lunch plan appears slated to stop suddenly

The monthly bill also would enable families in rural parts to get faculty foods shipped during the summer months instead than owning to select them up on-site, which can be complicated in regions where by schools attract pupils from a lot of miles away. And rather than requiring foods be consumed at college, young children can acquire house or get shipped up to 10 days’ truly worth of foods at a time.

Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign estimates that 6 out of 7 kids who participate in no cost or lowered-price tag school foods are unable to accessibility the summer season foods application since of cumbersome logistics, which puts many at possibility of hunger.

But whilst advocates lauded the alterations, they criticized the eliminations of pandemic-period bumps in food stamps, or SNAP, and college meal added benefits aimed at serving to people through the health and fitness emergency. Lawmakers stated the cuts were being important to shell out for the new added benefits. The reductions, advocates stated, will especially hurt the aged bad, who usually have smaller domestic measurements and bigger financial savings and consequently qualify for more compact foodstuff-assistance rewards.

Congress unveils $1.7 trillion deal to fund governing administration, avert shutdown

“Cutting SNAP to pay out for baby nutrition is not the correct selection,” claimed Crystal FitzSimons, director of school and out-of-faculty time packages for the nonprofit Food items Investigation & Motion Middle. “The unexpected emergency allotments for SNAP were aligned with the general public wellbeing crisis, which is not in excess of. We continue to are in a public health unexpected emergency. These allotments have been a large benefit to families to make finishes satisfy at a time when we’re nevertheless reeling from the impacts of the pandemic.”

Recipients of all ages would drop added benefits commencing as early as March 2023, she reported, with families on average shedding $82 per man or woman, per thirty day period. But the steepest loss would be for more mature grownups at the minimal gain amount who will see their monthly SNAP added benefits fall from $281 to $23.

Biden renewed a cost-free method to feed needy kids. Most states have not even applied.

Lisa Davis, senior vice president of No Child Hungry, described the tradeoff as “a minor bit of a Sophie’s Choice,” but that it is however “a major sleeper win” for foodstuff protection in the United States.

“I really don’t want to downplay that ending the pandemic allotments will make hardship for some people” at a time when inflation is producing it tougher for quite a few to make finishes meet, she stated. “As difficult as it is to prematurely conclusion or scale back again short-term pandemic applications that aid households place food stuff on the desk, working with individuals momentary cash to build permanent applications is a tradeoff well worth getting.”

Sens. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and John Boozman (R-Ark.) and Rep. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (D-Va.) pushed for these provisions in the paying invoice. The bill also features new protections for people whose SNAP gains have been stolen in the wake of a spate of thefts. This laws gives the U.S. Division of Agriculture and states the authority to reissue nourishment positive aspects to victims of this fraud and to improve safety measures.

The baby nutrition language integrated in the monthly bill incorporates sections, but not all, of the House’s reauthorization of the Wholesome Foods, Balanced Youngsters Act, Scott explained in a statement. This was a Residence invoice unveiled in July aimed at escalating entry to totally free school meals for young children in substantial-poverty universities while strengthening nutrition benchmarks.

“This proposal falls considerably limited of a comprehensive reauthorization that America’s small children and households ought to have, despite the fact that I am grateful we will be ready to make some development toward our greatest aim of eliminating little one hunger,” Scott claimed in the assertion. Stabenow stated in a assertion that she continues to be dedicated to passing a in depth child diet reauthorization, and also to shielding the SNAP method as legislators start out perform crafting the next Farm Invoice, which establishes funding for all foodstuff aid programs.

Quick-blanching carrots with trimmed tops, cauliflower or sugar snap peas for just 1 minute in boiling water then cooling immediately in ice water intensifies their color and makes the overall presentation noticeably fancier. Crisp endive, gem lettuce, radicchio or radishes with their leaves scattered around the dip step up this appetizer, too.
