 You learned the different market forms and cuts of poultry and game birds from the
previous lessons. This time you will know how to cook poultry and game dishes.
You will also learn to prepare poultry and game birds hygienically to minimize the risk of
food spoilage and cross-contamination.

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 a moist heat method. Dry heat method
is suitable for young birds. Moist-heat method uses
liquid, water, or steam to cook the food. Dry-heat
method involves the direct contact to fat or circulation
of hot ai or to transfer heat.
2. The best cooking temperature for poultry is at low
to moderate heat. This temperature range produces
a more flavorful and tender product. This also
minimizes nutrient loss and shrinkage of meat.

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 the cavity 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 be stored separately to prevent
contamination.
5. Because poultry meat is pale-colored, it is best to employ dry heat cooking with fat for a
brown color.
6. When roasting chicken, cuts should be placed with the breast-side down to produce a juicier
and tender product.
7. To improve the palatability of lean poultry meat, basting can be done. Basting involves
cooking meat with either its own juices, a sauce or marinade.

Causes of Food Spoilage and Contamination

Cross-contamination is the transfer of bacteria or other contaminants from one

surface, substance to another especially because of unsanitary handling procedures. Spoilage
is the deterioration of food and perishable goods. All food should be safe and free from
contamination and spoilage at all points in its journey from its source until it reaches the
consumers. Food may be contaminated by different microorganisms or by chemicals that can
cause health problems for anyone who eats it. 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/food handlers 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.
6. Cross-contamination of cooked foods through improperly cleaned equipment
7. Failure to reheat foods to temperature that kills bacteria.
