10 Tips for a Successful Picnic
--Have plenty coolers handy to keep cold foods at the proper temperature.
--After serving, refrigerated foods should not be left out more than 30 minutes. If the weather is extremely warm, refrigerate immediately after serving.
--Food should be covered to keep insects out. Lid covers, saran wrap, and aluminum foil works well.
--Have plenty of liquids available such as bottled water, fruit drinks, lemonade, tea, etc., especially for children and older adults.
--Have adequate ice on hand. Always purchase more than you think you’ll need.
--Have plenty food to serve your guests. Some guests will want seconds.
--Have plenty of plates, forks, and napkins available to serve everyone.
-Grilled hamburgers should be cooked all the way through. This will prevent a food borne illness.
--Have wipes, paper towels, and hand washing stations available such as water pales or buckets.
--Purchase a food thermometer to check the temperature on refrigerated items. Cold foods should be kept between 33 to 43 degrees. Anything higher than 43 degrees puts these foods in the danger zone.
