4. Place the Clear Lid onto the Mixing Tub. DO NOT operate the Meat Mixer
without the Clear Lid in place. Serious injury may result!

5. Turn the Handle clockwise to mix.

6. Mix until the meat feels sticky to the touch. Do not over-mix the meat. Remove
the Clear Lid to test the consistency of the meat. DO NOT turn the Handle and
KEEP CLEAR of the Mixing Shaft Paddles during this step. Replace the Clear Lid
before you continue mixing.

7. When mixing is complete, remove the Handle, Clear Lid and Mixing Shaft
before removing the meat.

8. Cook or refrigerate meat as soon as possible after mixing. DO NOT let meat sit
out for an extended period of time. Follow the basic rules in the “Food Safety” section
of this manual.

FOOD SAFETY

There are basic rules to follow when handling food.

They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.

COOK

It’s crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present. The safety of hamburgers
and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and with good reason. When
meat is ground, the bacteria present on the surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat
is not cooked to at least 160oF to 165oF (71oC to 74oC), bacteria will not be destroyed and there’s a good chance
you will get sick.

Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don’t have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the inside, so they can be
served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145oF (63oC) (medium
rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 180oF (82oC) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 160oF (71oC).
Eggs should be thoroughly cooked too. If you are making a meringue or other recipe that uses uncooked eggs,
buy specially pasteurized eggs or use prepared meringue powder.

SEPARATE

Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST ALWAYS be separated.
Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked.
This is a major source of food poisoning. Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in
the refrigerator so there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days of
purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter.

When grilling or cooking raw meats or sh, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean platter. Don’t use the
same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill.Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for
the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.

Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with soap and water, or
using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after you have touched raw meat or raw
eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a major cause of cross-contamination.

CLEAN

Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap and warm water for at
least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.

CHILL

Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40oF and 140oF
(4oC and 6oC). Your refrigerator should be set to 40oF (4oC) or below; your freezer should be 0oF (-17oC) or
below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chang dishes or hot plates to keep food hot
while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never let any food sit at room temperature for
more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90oF (32oC) or above. When packing for a picnic,
make sure the foods are already chilled when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won’t chill
food - it just keeps food cold when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow
containers and immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.

NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it can become heavily
contaminated during eld dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures that could potentially allow bacteria to
grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions
or information on meat and food safety.
