Kicking off the start of this year’s Food Safety Week, the Food Standards Agency has warned people to stop washing raw chicken to reduce the risk of contracting Campylobacter - a potentially dangerous form of food poisoning.
Latest figures have revealed that 44% of people always wash chicken before cooking it. In doing so, this can spread Campylobacter bacteria onto hands, work surfaces, clothing and cooking equipment through the splashing of water.
Campylobacter can be easily spread and it takes just a few bacteria to cause a potentially fatal illness. The food bug can come from raw or undercooked chicken, or from a cross- contamination due to washing raw chicken.
Cooking of the meat will kill any bacteria present, including Campylobacter.
Campylobacter is the most common form of food poisoning, causing more cases of food poisoning than E.coli, Listeria and Salmonella put together.
In the UK, Campylobacter affects an estimated 280, 000 people a year. Four in five of these cases come from contaminated poultry.
Those most at risk are children aged five and under and the elderly.
Here’ some rules from the Food Standards Agency to prevent Campylobacter from causing food poisoning;

Slowly but surely, summer has arrived. This not
only means the dense, yet nostalgic scent of sun cream in the air or the increasing exposure of white, sun starved skin doomed to a shade better suited to a healthy lobster. No, summer also marks the beginning of our huge Polar Fridge Sale.
There’s nothing worse for customers than walking into a
shop, cafe or restaurant and receiving a warm bottle of cola or a sandwich
containing sweating cheese. More often than not, during particularly hot summer
days, the temperature of your products can make the difference between having
custom and not. This is why it’s important to make sure your refrigerator, freezer,
display cooler and ice machine are in tip-top condition.
Knives are perhaps one of the most essential tools in any
kitchen and most chefs will invest a large amount of money in buying the finest

they are looked after correctly in order to guarantee their longevity and maximise
their cutting potential. Here are our top five ways to look after your

I recently got the chance to spend the week at Hotelympia
2014 demonstrating a couple of very exciting pieces of kit from our Buffalo
range. One of these included the brilliant Buffalo Sous Vide clip on.
‘Sous vide’ literally translates from French as ‘under
vacuum’. It was developed in France in the early 1970s when George Pralus and a
food scientist joined forces to devise the perfect piece of cooking equipment
for producing foie gras. After a number of experiments, the best method proved
to be sealing the food in a pouch under vacuum before cooking it very slowly at
a controlled temperature.
You may recently have read on the Nisbets blog that the weathermen are predicting a scorching summer ahead, and that we have a wide variety of products to help you make the most of the glorious weather. Well, we're never happy unless we're offering as many deals as possible, on the widest variety of products, and so we thought it would be worth our while to highlight a few more of our amazing summer bargains.
