Grill Food Safely 
Please remember the following tips when grilling food on these beautiful summer days.  Thaw food safely.  Completely thaw meat, poultry, and seafood before grilling so it cooks evenly.  Marinate food in the refrigerator, not on the counter.  Do not reuse marinade sauce.  Cook to the correct temperature.  Always use a food thermometer.  Keep hot food hot.  Once meats are cooked, set them to the side of the grill rack.  Use a different plate for serving cooked meat.  Do not put cooked meat on the same platter that held raw meat.  Enjoy your summer and safe grilling!
