* USDA cost model, 2023 dollars: one hospitalised salmonella case, $16,967.52 in treatment plus 13.74 days of work. Every number in these guides is printed with its source at the back. Check any of them.
Two minutes from Desmond Vale on why he started reading the reports.
Every volume ends with printable cards. Cut them out or print the pages again. They are set in large type on purpose, because the most common complaint about every kitchen chart sold anywhere is that the print is too small to read at the fridge door.
Published figures from the Department of Agriculture's own cost model, in 2023 dollars. Not averages I worked out, and not a promise about your situation.
And the CDC on who ends up in that bed: "Nearly half of people aged 65 and older who have a lab-confirmed foodborne illness from Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria or E. coli are hospitalized."
The set costs $99. I am not telling you it stops any of that. Nobody can say that and mean it. That is the whole of the argument and you can do what you like with it.
I did not run a lab and I did not test anything myself. What I did was read.
Every case in these guides comes from a published report, an agency recall notice or a court record. Where the source is thin, it says so on the page. Where nobody knows, it says that too.
No sponsors. No affiliate links. No brand deals. Nobody paid to be left out of these guides, and nobody paid to be in them. That is the only reason any of it is worth reading.
The complete set is 200 pages: nineteen chapters, eighty five cases, eleven printable cards. Volumes One and Two are inside it in full, and they come as their own files as well. Every claim carries its source.
Seven chapters, shelf by shelf. The hours table, the door that runs warmer than you think, when the clock actually starts, and what reheating cannot undo. Mostly it settles you rather than winds you up.
Twelve chapters on the things a chef stopped doing, with the reason in each case. Core temperatures, what a freezer never killed, game and home butchered meat, raw milk, raw oysters, raw eggs.
Both volumes in full, and behind them the part sold nowhere else: the register of all eighty five cases sorted by where in a kitchen it started, twenty eight safe swaps, and every card in one place.
Fourteen pages of sources at the back of the set, chapter by chapter, with enough detail to go and read the original. Where two agencies disagree, both numbers are printed. Where the report stopped, it says nobody knows.
Not mockups and not a designer's impression. These are screenshots of the real pages, taken out of the files you get. The register page is deliberately blurred further down, because there is a limit to how much of a book I can hand over for free.
Printable card sheets for the fridge door. A book you can leave open on the worktop while you work. That is the whole idea.
The videos tell one story. The guides are the thing you check before you buy.
All 85 cases, sorted by where in a kitchen it started, each pointing at the rule that covers it.
Every case with its report, so you can read the original yourself.
Printable, or on your phone at the shelf. Eleven of them across the set.
No. The videos each tell one case. The books are the reference layer: the hours table, the core temperatures, the register of every case, and the sixteen rules on printable cards. You watch a video once. You look this up standing in front of the fridge.
No, and the guides never claim otherwise. Everything in here comes from published reports, agency notices and court records, each one cited on the page. Where the evidence is thin, it says so.
The Department of Agriculture puts treatment for one hospitalised salmonella case at $16,967.52, plus 13.74 days of work. That is the comparison. If you never use it, it was a bad buy, and I would rather tell you that up front.
It rates categories, not brands, and it tells you exactly what the rating is based on. Naming a brand without a recall or a ruling behind it is how you end up in court instead of in the right.
