Wait, not everyone washes and dries their meat before seasoning?
- Thread starter Slayven
- Start date
Just literally asked 10+ people in my breakroom ,while I'm eating lunch, this question and they all wash their chicken too 😁
I was surprised at how much blanching or velveting of meat is used in Chinese cuisines, and I only started using those techniques when I got into cooking Chinese food.
But yeah, it's not for food safety reasons. I have never wash my meat otherwise, and the whole process doesn't help food safety anyway.
this isn't the correct answer as the guidance of literal scientists are telling you you're objectively wrong lmfao
So, instead of admitting you're wrong, you just got more anecdotal evidence?
Washing Food: Does it Promote Food Safety?
I've never heard of anyone doing this. Chicken breast comes right out of the package onto the cutting board. When I'm all done I wipe down the counter the cutting board was on with one of those disinfectant wipes (and I thought that was overzealous).
Lmao yeah do not wash your chicken. It's unnecessary, but it mostly wastes times (besides the complete unsanitaryness of it)
There are some good necessary reasons to pat dry your meats tho.
Lmaooo 🤣
We wash our meat and veggies before we cook them too.
So you ain't crazy Slay.
I would also like to cite the numerous threads from years ago when many, many posters would explain why you don't have to wash your hands after going to the bathroom.
We might just have to agree to disagree on the washing stuff.

So you think cold water is going to remove "grime" but a scorching hot pan won't?
Who let this person be a mod.

My hand's also not going in a screaming hot pan/oven/pot of oil for multiple minutes.
We all still here! I've cooked chicken at least twice a week for half of my life and I'm still good! Literally did it last night, and I'm not shitting my brains out yet lol
Washing the chicken is what increases your chances of food poisoning/makes you sick. So it's funny that people do it to try and prevent that. Backwards logic. Funny though. But it can be a dangerous superstition, so...
"Whyyy do I keep getting sick from damn chicken?!"
*washes even harder next time, carefully spreading bacteria even farther*
"I'm even more sick than last time!!!"
*washes even harder*
"I'm dead about this, and I don't know why!!!"

Reminds me of how they used to give Mercury pills for hypochondria.

What grime?!?
What the hell are you even talking about? "Washing" any sort of meat is completely pointless, it does NOTHING.
Just learn how to cook...
great for you! i hope you never get sick! it doesn't change the inherent danger of your pointless actions!
did those threads also cite scientific evidence on why washing your hands is bad?
Been washing for all of my living years, never caught a thing.
I trust my cleaning more than I trust the meat store and supermarket. Specially more than the meat process industry.

""CAN"" spread illness throughout your kitchen. Quoted in that link. Probably fools shooting water at it full blast. A lot of things CAN spread illness.
You are presumably cooking your meat to safe temperatures, which does more than rinsing some water over it.
You know this has nothing to do with trusting stores and trusting science instead right?
It's one of those things I admittedly did because I'd watched grandparents do it before I learned it does absolutely fuck all and can even spread germs and stuff. It makes sense not to if you take a second to think about it tbh.
Jesus, Dude. You're arguing against an entire organization created to keep food safe for people to eat. Just admit you're wrong, you can still wash you're meat but you are literally not supposed to.
this thread is wild lmfao
the CDC telling you not to wash your meat and y'all probably make fun of antivaxxers for not listening to the science lol

...grime? My man if my butcher gives me steaks with grime on em me and him would be having words lol. Pat dry with a paper towel and season then you are golden
I appreciate how the level of incredulousness has remained constant, even when confronted with the fact that nobody actually does this and several sourced posts detailing why it's a bad idea. I think we're up to a quadruple down now? I support it all, this is a hill one should die on!
Safe cooking temperatures - Canada.ca
Every year, thousands of Canadians get food poisoning (also known as foodborne illness or food-related illness). Since harmful contaminants can't be seen, smelled or tasted, it's important that you cook your food to a safe internal cooking temperature to avoid food poisoning.
My partner's family's Vietnamese and they ain't doing any of this. The most is boiling off the impurities for some broths, but that's to create a cleaner looking and tasting broth, not for health and hygiene.
Seriously they would fail basic food license tests at Mcdonalds.
Now one sec while I heat up some Pepsi to take care of this cold I have.
Those two acts are literally nothing alike, but you do you...
Sure, until you are eating happy and realize there's a part of the meat that wasn't well cooked
It has a lot to do with that
My family always rinsed meat and then patted it dry before seasoning/marinating. Never knew there was anything wrong with that. Learn something new everyday.
Is this just a black American thing to do? Because literally my whole family rinses meat off before cooking lmao.

How many people in this thread who are washing their meat think that the liquid that accumulates in the package is "grime"?
Our family has washed the meat before cooking for generations. I didnt even know it was a thing to not wash the meat, that sounds pretty gross to me.
We're south asian and its the same for us. I dont know anyone in the community that doesnt rinse the meat before cooking lol.

Well the water is not gonna take care of that LOL
Why do you think this dude loses his shit about this all the time.
