Cooking outdoors was once only a summer activity shared with family and friends. Now more than half of Americans say they are cooking outdoors year round. It's important to follow food safety guidelines to prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying and causing foodborne illness. Use these simple guidelines for grilling food safely.

Transporting Meats/Poultry
When shopping, buy cold food like meat and poultry last, right before checkout. To protect foods against cross-contamination, put packages of raw meat and poultry into plastic bags. Plan to drive directly home from the grocery store. Always refrigerate perishable food within 2 hours. Refrigerate within 1 hour when the temperature is above 90 °F. At home, place meat and poultry in the refrigerator immediately. Freeze poultry and ground meat that won't be used in 1 or 2 days; freeze other meat within 4 to 5 days.

Many women can relate to the feeling of walking into a less-than-clean public restroom. Feeling safe involves covering the seat with endless amounts of toilet paper, squatting to avoid making contact with the toilet, shuffling to find a comfortable position, all the while trying to make sure that your clothing doesn’t touch the dirty floor. This situation is very common in many public restrooms, but now you can avoid it completely by using a new, innovative product. When nature calls, the WhizEasy gives women the freedom to pass urine wherever and whenever they choose. This soft and gentle device allows women of all ages to urinate into a toilet while standing.

The WhizEasy, is a urine guide that has been carefully designed as a flexible lily shape which fits comfortably to the outer curves of the human body. It is externally held against the private area. When a woman starts urinating, nature and gravity do the rest. Urine is directed away from the body so there are no flowbacks, splashes or spills, you don't even have to remove outer or under clothing.

Every girl and woman can use the Whiz Easy for convenience in the outdoors or to avoid dirty, unsanitary public facilities. It is useful for anyone who has difficulty squatting, hovering or getting to the bathroom quickly. For the sports enthusiast, leisure user or individuals with various medical conditions, its uses are unlimited.
