⇒ To make a sanitizing solution, mix ¾ teaspoon household bleach with 1 quart of cool water. The best option is to keep a 32-ounce spray bottle under the sink for easy access and convenient use.
This is the first time Joy has ever included a general food safety section, but we felt it was important. There are lots of small steps you can take to make sure your food is safe for everyone to eat, and sanitizing work surfaces that have come in contact with raw meat is an easy one. We know how busy home cooks are, and we understand that it can be tempting to skip proper sanitization steps. This is why we recommend having a spray bottle of bleach solution ready to go.
This is one small example of Joy’s commitment to being a truly comprehensive cookbook. Most other cookbooks don’t go into things like food safety, but we want to be a complete resource for cooks, no matter what they’re looking for, be it how to sharpen a knife, purify water, churn butter, build a campfire, or make scrambled eggs.
