Washing chicken is about more than bacteria. Do you not feel the fatty film and “debris” that’s on the chicken (especially chicken breasts)? Not to mention, lemon juice/vinegar gets rid if some of the “raw” taste, just like lemon juice and fish.

Do more cooking brehs...

With that said, I assume restaurant quality meat requires less of this. But we getting meat from grocers that only care about turning a profit however they can, including repurposing/refurbishing old meat. Better safe than sorry.

your stars are but dust on my shoes
I always clean (removing excess fat & guck) and wash (rinsing off blood residue etc) then start seasoning.

The USDA's problem is that they're going off preconceived notions that everybody isn't properly cleaning their kitchen countertops/sinks after handling & washing raw meats; chicken in particular.

If you're a person who cleans your kitchen countertops/sinks after each use of raw meats there's nothing to worry about bacteria wise.

If we're talking bacteria, what does rinsing do that isn't done by cooking at the right temperature? Does rinsing kill bacteria that isn't killed off by extreme heat?

No, you're missing the point.

It's not about the actual meat when cooking; it's about the raw debris (excess fat, blood residue etc) that could possibly be left within the sinks and kitchen countertops.

The reason they don't want people to rinse off the meat is because of what I just said about the raw debris not being cleaned off countertops/sinks. That's the bacteria.

That's what it's really about; not whether the meat has a different outcome when cooked. It's based on the belief that people aren't cleaning up afterwards.

:dead: @ fatty film & debris. Just peel off the skin that's all you literally need to do.

After that it's all in how you season/marinade and cook the meat

Lemon juice is an acid that helps to tenderize the meat. It doesnt do anything to "clean" or remove bacteria or whatever dumb shyt grandma told you

Explain how you need anything more than heat to kill off bacteria

365 degree ovens kill bacteria more effectively than soap and water. That is the reason we cook specific foods to specific internal temps.

You've heard of People cauterizing a wound in order to prevent infections right? On your body that is an undesirable method of disinfecting because it's painful and disfiguring, so we prefer to disinfect our wounds with medicine. With food though, we are cooking/cauterizing it anyways so there is no point in using antibacterial:mindblown:. it's more effective period.


fire > Soap


People aren't actually using soap to clean raw meat breh

Acidic liquids like vinegar and lemon is what we are talking about

This.

Washing your chicken has nothing to do with "killing bacteria". C'mon brehs. :mjlol:

Ya'll just taking the chicken out of the package and start seasoning it with all the gunk and slime on it like it's all good?

:dahell:
