with water, or white vinegar if I feel like the meat is important

I like to wash the shame and hatred off all of my food before I eat it. Can't be ingesting any of that nasty stuff.

No. You just spread around the germs. At least, by running a faucet over it. If you wanna try to rise it off, a bowl of a weak brine could work rather well. Just softly introduce it, rub it on all sides while it's submerged, let it drip gently, and pour out the liquid when you're done.

I am pretty careful about cross contaminating in my kitchen. I toss meat packages into plastic bags at the grocery, keep them in plastic bags and right into the trash as I take the meat out onto a tray or glass platter (goes into the dishwasher. I immediately rub down a roast with fresh lime juice or lemon juice, or vinegary marinade. Sometimes I already have that on the plate. I'm careful about touching fixtures, handles, etc, keeping a sterile field mentality. If I'm very worried about poultry, such as with a fresh turkey that has been in a wrapper for who knows how long or something getting cooked like danger zone crock pot or low n slow on a grill? A glass prep bowl with ice water can sit in the sink, and they can get soaked a little, and water run under the skin with fingers, and then the careful drain onto a platter with the next step to lime juice, etc.

This. Washing your meat as shown in pic related is likely to get more germs on your meat than were there before, as well as spread the germs that were already on it around.

This isn't exactly right, or properly explained. Washing meat is good for cleaning the meat, fact and it certainly is not going to put more germs on the meat.
The consensus that came up with the recommendation not to wash did so based on odds of cross contamination vs cooking foods to proper temperatures. Statistical odds that a ton of people cross-contaminate, and a ton of people also cook their food well. Washing meat is going to happen in places like hospitals, in a controlled environment, unlike your home, where your full force faucet and your lack of training is going to splash salmonella or e.coli into mists, you won't be wearing gloves, and you'll be having it on surfaces of your kitchen, which will be spread to things not cooked but eaten raw. If you touch your sink handle and your hands are wet with salmonella tainted juices, or that egg was cracked on a countertop and left juices to dry, or you washed the outside of the egg and put it back into the same carton, or cross-washed all of them at once, and only 1 was infected, etc....then you might be the kind of person who puts those germs on the lettuce you wash next, or on your hands and knife while you prep your potato salad even though you thought you used a clean cutting board, but see, you had touched your fridge handle. Then, that potato salad is done, and placed into the fridge for 3-4 days of enjoyment as it festers and multiples and grows in bacterial levels.

No because I don't eat meat.
I see enough dead bodies where I work, I don't want to eat them too.

[Anonymous No.12791946]

No, I pat down any liquid off before seasoning, the only thing i wash and clean is seafood if i am gutting it and there is blood

There's really no need to do this unless you live in a 3rd world country like America.

Why the fuck would I wash meat?

Remember to use plenty of soap to get rid of the bacteria

[Anonymous No.12792626]

Its almost like im gonna heat the meat to a point where the chemical structure of it changes so im not too worried about germs surviving

I buy Costco chicken and it comes in those vacuum packets and they have this slime on them and I do rinse that before use. But besides that no.

I'm getting ready to wash some chicken right now with my 100% safe method:

1. boil pot of water
2. dunk raw chicken into boiling water
-heat kills bacteria, water washes them off
3. transfer chicken to roasting pan, fry pan, etc.
4. dump water full of dead bacteria that you've pulled off your chicken

And remember...enjoy!

for what purpose? anything on the surface gets cooked off and running it under water isn't going to do anything anyways.

[Anonymous No.12792857]

>>12791695
any cuts with bone in can have little fragments of bone, so its worth rinsing to get that off

[Anonymous No.12793270]

I clean them with bleach first

before dry-aging, it is essential.
before home cooking, it's pointless.

I typically rinse the cheap chicken I buy. Not because I think it's covered in bacteria or something, but because it's got a sorta slimy liquid on it (I'm assuming it's partially brine and protean from the bird). If I don't rinse it off it burns easily and creates a weird flaky film on the chicken once it's cooked. A quick rinse and pat to dry removes this.

I clean my kitchen sink after I rinse off chicken (normally while the chicken is cooking), so I don't really have any worries about spreading wet chicken juice everywhere.

No but I pat my meat with paper towels to remove moisture.

Washing with water seems excessive.

I'm not circumcised so I have to. Get it? I'm doing a pun about "meat" being a euphemism for "penis," and also referencing the fact that you need to wash the knob cheese from behind your foreskin if you're not circumcised. I've got jokes even better than this one to use. Watch out for them elsewhere on this board. I'll definitely be looking for opportunities.

yes. especially ground beef

I like those because you can take a dead blow hammer and flatten the chicken breasts so they are the same thickness and cook evenly.

As a european no because salmonella and ecoli are memes unless your 100 years old or have aids. If i was american i would wash it to get all of the chlorine off.

[Anonymous No.12794210]

no, i soak them in milk for a few hours

[Anonymous No.12794226]

I'll rinse off bone-in porkchops/steaks just because sometimes there can be a couple of lose bone fragments or bone dust. I also rinse off most fish because I have been told it can reduce the fishiness of certain types of fish if you rinse and pat them down with paper towels before preparing them.

My mom always used Tide to wash the chicken. She wrote by it. Thankfully we had one of them big kettle drum tubs for her wash all them at once. Made spraying them off easier.
