No Bake Recipes FAQ’s
Are no bake cookies safe to eat?
Although they are called “no bake”, I highly recommend that you heat the flour before using it to make this, or any other, no bake recipes. Raw flour has been known to contain bacteria so by heating the flour before using, anything that could potentially cause a problem should be eliminated.
Why is uncooked flour bad for you?
Uncooked flour is bad for you because it typically is not treated in the field to kill bacteria. Therefore, uncooked flour can contain bacteria such as eColi, salmonella and other harmful food borne illnesses.
How do you kill bacteria in flour?
The US Food and Drug Administration recommends heating flour to 160 degrees to get rid of anything harmful.
There are two ways to get rid of the bacteria in flour:
- Microwave the flour until it reaches 160 degrees.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and “toast” or bake the flour for about 5 minutes.
