Question: I have stored chicken and steak in the same container overnight!. Is it ok to cook them!? Or can they be washed!?
Answers:
You can cook them!. As long as you cook both the chicken and steak all the way through, you will have killed off the bacteria!.

No need to wash either one - this only spreads the germs to your sink (unless you are going to disinfect the sink as well)!. Washing doesn't remove all the germs, which get killed by the cooking process anyway!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Absolutely NOT! This is food poisoning waiting to happen!. Raw meats must be handled & stored separately!. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before moving to the next item!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i would rinse under ice cold water then it will be ok!.

chicken has to be fully cooked but not steak so you dotn want the chicken bacteria to invade the steak so cook it wellWww@FoodAQ@Com

They are fine as long as you cook the steak Well Done!. No rare steaks!

Cook both 100% all the way through and they are OK to use!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
