Last week, we learned more men are taking on grocery shopping. American men are also spending more time cooking than ever before according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
What's their favorite way to cook? The grill won over the oven by an overwhelming majority in a recent Allrecipes.com survey. Here's a closer look at how women and men measure up on some key food safety practices from the 2014 IFIC Foundation Food & Health Survey:
