Is it safe to marinate two different meats like chicken and beef in the same sauce?

Question

My SO says that you're only supposed to marinate only one meat to avoid contamination. I figured it's all gonna be cooked anyway, so why waste the ingredients....

Answer 1

I have a food prep certificate and advice to me was never you can get cross infection and there is no guarantee cooking will kill everything

Answer 2

Prepare the sauce ,then divide into two containers ,one for each meat,i don't think cross contamination is the problem ,but i would rather have taste & flavour entirely different from each other,if this is not a matter of concern then i'm sure both meats tigether will not make an awful lot of difference,yet I am still to be convinced that doing it all in one is a saving in marinade or time .

Answer 3

No, you always separate the meat!! You don't waste the ingredients....just halve the recipe into 2 separate bowls. If you need more liquid then add some vegetable stock. Besides, cooking a meat doesn't necessarily mean it's 'contamination' free. Better to be safe than sorry, I say.

Answer 4

crimson meat is maximum secure, if it comes from a shop that butchers their very own meat. because of the fact the beef isn't uncovered to the air until eventually that's decrease up, that's sterile whilst packaged. secure coping with training are on all meat packaging, merely examine and carry on with instructions. The intestines of all animals can contaminate the beef if improperly removed from the animal after the slaughter, and that's whilst the beef can replace into contaminated with the help of micro organism, like salmonella in rooster. in any different case, maximum all meats are edible. each person that tells you which you will get the flu from meat, is laid low with Bovine Fecal diarrhea (it rather is whilst B.S. comes out their Butt!)

Answer 5

you could as long as you do it AT THE SAME TIME because bacteria breed rapidly. But you might get the beef juices and flavour absorbing into the chicken. As long as you don't mind that, go ahead.
Remember: At the same time, never keep used marinade. Especially after using chicken...

Answer 6

say for instance beef marinated with chicken, you eat your beef Med rare, and you know chicken isn't safe unless it is cooked through because of salmonella you eat the steak, the steak is still active from the salmonella from the chicken that steak would have to be cooked well done for the salmonella to die

Answer 7

I would say that it is okay to do this as long as it is thoroughly cooked afterwards. Afterall you do get stews and casserole with more than one kind of meat. But I would put whole pieces in with whole pieces and mince in with mince. That would be the safest.

Answer 8

Yes you can, i do it when making chinese stir-fried rice(chicken and prawns) and nothing ever turned out wrong, i have also tried steak and chicken.

Answer 9

i wouldnt try it, thats a good invitation for cross contamination.

Answer 10

yes you can use the same sauce....just use different dishes....do it right.....listen to your SO
