Alan and his wife, Misty are hosting a dinner with some friends and have cooked the following for dinner: chicken casserole with carrots, celery, noodles, and boneless, skinless chicken breast; spinach salad with blackberries, raw spinach, brie cheese, toasted walnuts, and a raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing; dinner rolls with real butter; store-bought vanilla ice-cream with homemade apple pie for dessert. They’ve gotten behind on their laundry and so only have one kitchen towel available for use while they prepare the meal. The following occurred while Misty & Alan were preparing dinner: They washed their hands with hot, soapy water prior to starting their meal preparation. They had put the chicken to thaw in the refrigerator in a sealed container the day before. They used soap and water to clean the countertop before preparing the meal. They prepared the raw chicken on a cutting board and then washed the cutting board in hot, soapy water. They dried their cutting board, knife, and other cooking utensils using the kitchen towel. After handling the chicken, Alan used some hand sanitizer and wiped the excess off sanitizer off on the kitchen towel. They cooked the casserole in the oven at 375 F as per the recipe they were using. After washing the cutting board, they used it to prepare the spinach salad. Which of the following represents the LEAST beneficial time for Alan & Misty to wash their hands during meal preparation?
