Day 5 - Mixed Grill - Beware!

In an effort for keeping the diets normalized for others in our household, we decided to grill out .... steaks on one side of the grill, and my salmon burger on the other side.  We even put a broiler rack on top of the grill so my food wouldn't touch.

Time of meal - 9pm.  6 hours later - woke up with itchiness all over.

My advice, get a 2nd grill dedicated to chicken, fish and veggies only.

Here are some suggestions to avoid cross contact with food based allergens from FoodAllergy.org:

• Use utensils, cutting boards and pans that have been thoroughly washed with soap and water. Consider using separate utensils and dishes for making and serving safe foods. Some families choose a different color to identify the safe kitchen tools. 
• If you are making several foods, cook the allergy-safe foods first. 
• Keep the safe foods covered and away from other foods that may splatter. 
• If you make a mistake, you can’t just remove an allergen from a meal. Even a small amount of cross-contact makes a food unsafe. 
• Wash your hands with soap and water before touching anything else if you have handled a food allergen. Soap and water or commercial wipes will remove a food allergen. Sanitizing gels or water alone will not remove an allergen. 
• Scrub down counters and tables with soap and water after making meals. 
• Do not share food, drinks or utensils.
