The CDC warns against washing raw chicken before cooking
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention advises consumers to avoid washing raw chicken because it makes it more likely for raw chicken juices to spread to other foods, kitchen surfaces and utensils. Raw chicken can carry harmful bacteria like salmonella, campylobacter, and clostridium perfringens, which can cause nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal cramps, etc. and sometimes death.
What a retarded tweet, just use disinfectant spray afterwards... if someone is dying from this, imma mark it down as Darwinism and a boon to future generations of humanity.
When you realise that the CDC effectively just told you not to wash your hands after handling raw chicken because its juices can get everywhere 😑
Only a dope would wash raw chicken, now a brine or a marinade can do wonders for chicken especially boneless skinless chicken breasts, one of the blandest proteins known to modern man.
wash raw meat....wash raw meat... just fucking cook the damn thing you idiot, do you wash bacon to get that soapy taste!?!
If you're washing raw chicken in a place where you have to worry about the juices spreading you have a lot more problems imo, every time I wash chicken it's either in an empty sink or out doors with a bowl that will be washed into a sink after.
Thanks mommy government for telling me what to do. We would all be incompetent humans without you holding our hand through every aspect of our life
This article has made me aware of two things: 1: Washing chicken before cooking is a thing. 2: There are people out there that do this.
How bout rinse it in the sink with nothing else then clean the sink before using something else. Pretty simple
My ex would wash chicken in water before cooking... I never understood why because one of the main reasons for cooking the meat is to kill the vast majority of pathogens present.
I rinse chicken before I cook it. Not because I think it washes off bacteria or anything, but there's a protean rich liquid that the chicken is slightly coated in out of the package (partially the brine it's soaked in and partially liquid from the chicken itself). I rinse that off because I don't like the texture it leaves on the chicken once it's cooked.
Cool, I'll just dunk mine in a batch of hand sanatizer 70% alcohol just to be safe. 😂
I mean where I live we rinse the chicken with water before preparation.... Idk how this can be an issue
Hahaha they are reporting on a twitter post! the 'debate' that has been 'sparked' is a few replies on twitter with less than 100 likes each
These articles are misleading as always... It shouldn't really say "washing," but instead "rinsing." Someone along the line doesn't care about "Englishing good," as "washing" implies soap, while "rinsing" doesn't. Rinsing is good, I don't trust the packaging process to be all that great. ... just don't use a faucet on the "showerhead" setting.
Who the fuck washes their meat?
KFC doesn't wash chicken and fries all pathogens in their previously secret recipe.
Is this in America only? I thought chlorine washing was suppose solve this issue?
Probably using the wrong dish soap. Your meant to run it through the dishwasher twice before cooking
