3. Who in her family would most likely get food poisoning? Explain.

Preeti was making a Stew for her family supper. She rushed into the kitchen and started to work. The pork had been defrosting on the counter for three hours but it was still partly frozen. Her parents were expecting dinner in just over 1/2 hour so Preeti decided to cut the pork up as it would defrost while being cooked. Preeti took the vegetables from the fridge, and as they looked nice and clean cut them using a dull knife so it wouldn't cut herself and added them to the stew. Her recipes secret ingredient was two eggs. She cracked each egg, but dropped the shell of the second egg in the stew. She picked it out with tongs. She decided to add a slice of bread to each plate to accompany the stew. In order to save time and dishes she used the same cutting board and knife that she used for the pork. Time was running out so Preeti took the potatoes out of the cupboard under the sink and put some on the stove to cook. She had just started to saute the onions for the stew on the stove when the phone rang. When she returned from the phone the onions was a little brown and the oil had started to smoke. Preeti grabbed the dishtowel and removed the pot from the stove and placed it on the counter top. She took out the onions and placed them on a plate. She tipped the hot oil and down the sink and ran some water in the pan to clean it. Preeti put the onions back into the pot and began to add the ingredients for her stew. Her family was coming soon, so she put the burner to max and took the stew off the stove when her family walked in. She served the family dinner in record time! After dinner she cleaned the dishes, throwing utensils, knives and serving spoons into the cool, soapy, water at the same time. She also placed the leftover stew in the pot in the refrigerator to cool. Whew! She was tired from all of that hard work.
