9. Principles of Poultry Cookery
1. The fat distribution and maturity of the fowl affect the
quality of the product. Mature birds are best cooked using
moist heat. Dry heat is suitablefor young birds.
2. The best cooking temperature for poultry is at low to
moderate heat. Thistemperature range produces a more
flavorful and tender product. This also minimizes nutrient
loss and shrinkage of meat.
10. Principles of Poultry Cookery
3. To prevent the risk of microbial contamination, stuffing of
turkey and chickens should be done immediately before
roasting. It is best not to fill thecavity completely as this will
prevent the poultry from being thoroughly cooked.
4. Because of its susceptibility to microbial growth, cooked
poultry should be eaten immediately or refrigerated if not
consumed. Leftover stuffing should bestored separately to
prevent contamination.

11. Principles of Poultry Cookery
5. Because poultry meat is pale-colored, it is best to employ
dry heat cookingwith fat for a brown color.
6. When roasting chicken, cuts should be placed with the
breast-side down toproduce a juicier and tenderer product.
7. To improve the palatability of lean poultry meat, basting can
be done.

14. THE COMMON CAUSES OF FOOD CONTAMINATION AND FOOD
SPOILAGE ARE:
1. Failure to properly refrigerate food.
2. Failure to thoroughly heat or cook food.
3. Infected employees/workers because of poor personal hygiene
practices
4. Foods prepared a day or more before they are served.
5. Raw, contaminated ingredients incorporated into foods that
receive no further cooking.

15. 6. Cross-contamination of cooked foods through
improperly cleaned equipment
7. Failure to reheat foods to temperature that kills
bacteria.
8. Prolonged exposure to temperatures favorable to
bacterial
