I got a mixed so it definitely could have been the chicken. Also have tingling skin like a fever. Definitely food poisoning. This is turning into a baaaad time.

I know alot of places in QLD are doing that.. Plus most times the Beef/Lamb is processed anyway.. It's like eating shaved luncheon meat that got cooked..

And I can guarantee the amount of times my cheese doesn't get melted that the sandwich press doesn't do much..But yeah a few places in town here actually fry the meat in big batches and then they store it in a hot box..

Make sure they throw it on the grill for a minute or two to make sure it's cooked through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the sandwich press is to make it just a little bit warmer, more than melt/cook anything... As long as it's cooked well enough, straight from the spindle is fine.

There's also the fact that leftover spindles are taken off the grill and whacked in to the freezer only to be pulled out in the morning and given another run.

Never felt sick, never had any gastric problems from any of them... This would suggest that current practices are safe (for the most part), in my opinion.

tab Sucker Moderating Team 32,303 Member For: 20y 7m 21d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 02/09/13 11:56 PM Share Posted 02/09/13 11:56 PM Far more to it than sterilising the surfaces. All food has a low level of potentially harmful bacteria in it, if you allow it to grow or in the case of chicken don't raise the internal temp high enough before consumption then food poisoning can occur. 100 people could all eat the same thing and not get sick but if the conditions are right, or you've eaten other questionable stuff in the past 48 hours, then you'll end up like 2256.

From what I can see, the risks of food poisoning are similar to eating chicken at a restaurant.It's worth mentioning that I never ate a chicken kebab, in my experimentation. I'm much favoured towards lamb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
