After handling raw meat, wash hands, utensils, cutting boards and other food preparation surfaces with hot, soapy water.
Don't place cooked meat onto a platter that previously held raw meat.
Use only clean utensils to handle and cut cooked meats.
If using a basting brush to apply barbecue sauce or marinade, be careful to avoid brushing sauce onto raw meat and then placing the brush back into the bottle. When in doubt, use a small container of sauce for application to raw meat, saving the remainder of the bottle for use once the meat is cooked.
