MANHATTAN — Kansas State University researchers have discovered the secret ingredient to improving kitchen 1xbet sports betting : include hand-washing reminders and meat thermometer instructions in published recipes.
Edgar Chambers IV, co-director of the university's Sensory Analysis Center, and collaborative 1xbet sports betting scientists have found that only 25 percent of people use a meat thermometer when they are cooking at home. But when a recipe includes a reminder, 85 percent of people will use a thermometer. The researchers saw similar results for hand-washing: Only 40 to 50 percent of people wash their hands when cooking, but 70 to 80 percent of people will wash their hands when a recipe reminds them.
"This is such an easy thing to do: Just add the information to the recipe and people follow it," said Edgar Chambers, who is also a university distinguished professor of food, nutrition, dietetics and health. "It's a simple way to reduce foodborne illness and we can actually reduce health care costs by simply adding information to recipes. It's a great finding and a great piece of information for the promotion of 1xbet sports betting information."
Chambers and his research team – including researchers at Tennessee State University and RTI International in North Carolina — have published the research in the Journal of 1xbet sports betting Protection. They presented the results to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which intends to start including these 1xbet sports betting instructions in recipes that it develops, Chambers said.
The four-year collaborative project is supported by a .5 million USDA grant. The researchers have spent three years studying consumer shopping and cooking behaviors. Now the researchers are spending the fourth and final year working with the Partnership for 1xbet sports betting Education in Washington, D.C., to develop a nationwide 1xbet sports betting campaign. The researchers want to educate consumers, manufacturers, grocers, journalists, magazines and publishers on the importance of including 1xbet sports betting instructions in published recipes.
"We want to provide research-based information for consumers," Chambers said. "The goal is to promote safe behaviors so that people actually begin to do them every day in the kitchen and as part of their shopping behavior."
The project focused on several areas of 1xbet sports betting with poultry and eggs, including using meat thermometers, washing hands frequently and storing meat in plastic bags provided by the grocery stores.
The researchers observed 75 people cook two dishes — a Parmesan chicken breast and a turkey patty with mushroom sauce — following recipes that did not have 1xbet sports betting instructions. Another group of 75 participants cooked the same dishes following recipes that did include 1xbet sports betting instructions. The dishes required the participants to handle raw meat, eggs and fresh produce while scientists observed how often the participants washed their hands or used a meat thermometer.
By comparing the two groups, the researchers found that 60 percent more people used a meat thermometer and 20 to 30 percent more people washed their hands when the recipes included reminders about the two 1xbet sports betting practices.
"This is such a wonderful outcome," Chambers said. "It's such an easy thing to do and such an easy way to help people remember to be safe. It doesn't cost anything — just a little extra paper and a little extra time to wash your hands and use that thermometer."
The researchers also are studying kitchen lighting, which also can affect 1xbet sports betting . Many people are switching to LED lights and energy-efficient lights for kitchens, which is great news for consumers, but bad news for 1xbet sports betting , Chambers said. The energy-efficient lights make meat and poultry appear as if they are more done than they actually are.
"We have shown through research that changing to more modern lighting in kitchens makes people believe their meat patties are done sooner than they would be under old lighting, which is wrong," Chambers said. "That is not good news for consumers unless they are using a meat thermometer."
The researchers recently published the lighting-related research in the Journal of Sensory Studies.
