The absolute aquatic Newts dwell in water, permanently. The semi-aquatic ones inhabit marshy areas having giddy atmosphere and easy access to water bodies nearby. They can be traced in gardens and parks with ponds or lakes close by.
Thawing. The safest way to thaw frozen raw chicken or turkey is in the refrigerator. Always defrost food in the refrigerator, in cold water or in the microwave-never at room temperature.Thawing your poultry at room temperature can allow bacteria to grow. This will keep your food out of the temperature danger zone between 4 Â°C (40 Â°F) to 60 Â°C (140 Â°F) where bacteria can grow quickly. 2  Place the poultry in a clean container or a plastic bag that will hold any leaking raw juices. 3  Cook fresh poultry within no more than two to three days after purchasing.
In 2006, USDAâs Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) lowered the recommended temperature for poultry from 180Â° F to 165Â° F. At that time, USDA said chicken and turkey should be cooked more thoroughly than other meats because Salmonella is the most heat-resistant pathogen of concern in raw poultry.With a single temperature for all whole cuts of meat and uniform 3 minute stand time, we believe it will be much easier for consumers to remember and result in safer food preparation,â said Under Secretary Elisabeth Hagen in the USDAâs news release.
