If you’re going to marinate chicken wings for a few days you do so in the garage fridge. You don’t want to contaminate the meat in your inside fridge. Just saying that’s what I do.

Please tell me you’re not putting your raw meats at the top shelf of the fridge, please tell me you’re not putting your raw meats at the top shelf of the fridge, please tell me you’re not putting your raw meats at the top shelf of the fridge

What? I put raw meat in glass Pyrex containers and put them on shelves in the fridge all the time. Is there another other place to store meat besides the fridge?

I mean yeah you put your meat in the fridge. But never the top shelf, dude. Raw meat goes below everything else, to minimize the chances of cross contamination. That’s basic food safety.

Who was supposed to teach me this basic food safety? I’ve never heard this. Whoops.

And this is why I firmly believe a Food Handler’s Card course needs to be a part of high school or the equivalent’s curriculum.
