Before cooking, and every time after touching raw meat or raw fish, and after cooking, you should wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. Only then will bacteria not get into the food you're going to eat.

Keep raw meat, raw fish, and raw seafood on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Wrap raw meat and raw fish carefully and try your best to keep them from coming into contact with other foods.
Bacteria clinging to raw meat and raw fish can spread to other foods, and if you eat those contaminated foods, it can cause food poisoning and harm your health.
In addition, the refrigerator also needs to be cleaned about once a week.

When meat and fish are cooked with heat, the bacteria clinging to them die. However, if you wash them before cooking, it actually helps spread the bacteria around.

As mentioned earlier, invisible bacteria cling to raw meat and raw fish. Suppose you use a cutting board and a knife to cut meat or fish. If you only rinse that knife lightly with water, and then use the same knife again to spread butter on bread, bacteria will have already invaded your body.
Therefore, if possible, keep kitchen utensils used for raw meat and raw fish separate. And after use, wash and sanitize them immediately.
