Is it safe to cook two different types of meat in the same pan?

It's not recommended to cook different types of meat in the same pan without proper cleaning in between. Here's why:

* Cross-contamination: Different types of meat can carry different bacteria. If you cook them in the same pan without cleaning, the bacteria from one meat can transfer to the other, potentially causing foodborne illness.

* Flavor transfer: The flavors of the different meats can mix, which may not be desirable for your meal.

* Safety concerns: If one of the meats is undercooked, the bacteria from that meat can contaminate the other meat, even if the other meat is cooked properly.

Here's what you can do to cook different meats safely:

* Clean the pan thoroughly between each meat: Wash the pan with hot soapy water and then sanitize it with a bleach solution (1 tablespoon bleach per gallon of water).

* Cook the meats separately: It's always the safest option to cook different meats in separate pans.

* Use different utensils: Use separate utensils for each type of meat to prevent cross-contamination.

If you're still unsure, it's always best to err on the side of caution and cook different meats separately.
