Washing meat with water cross-contaminates everything in your kitchen with aerosolised bacteria.
"Washing" meat with water and soap like niggers do does the exact same plus you're eating soap like a retard.
Cooking is already sufficient for killing bacteria - that's why humanity started doing it in the first place.

Droplets of water will splash off anything you put under running water and will contaminate your kitchen. If you wipe your kitchen down with antibacterial shit after every meat-washing then good for you, and congratulations on creating the next superbug. You can submerge your meat under still water to wipe the goo off and it will probably be fine, but very few people actually do that. A running tap is just too convenient. Ultimately there is no reason to wash your meat.

[Anonymous No.18891751]

>they do it because their meat is rotten

No, you dumbfucks. It's just that you're a retarded burger who never got to know the taste of anything that hasnt lived in a cage, was pumped full of hormones and antibiotics, and then washed so hard you might as well be eating cardboard.

Free range/organic chicken, even in modern countries, let alone poorer ones where anything else isnt an option, tastes incredibly gamey and is less tender than your average poultry. So unless you want your shit to taste like you licked the wrong end of a turkey, you wash it.

>Le heckin' dropperinos of salmonella
You don't need to turn your fucking faucet right on top of the fucking chicken and hose it. Just fill up a bowl with water, add some lemon juice or vinegar, and some salt. It takes most of the edge off. You can either leave it out the brine right away or leave it for a while. This is how it was washed.

>>18891715
Unless you start hosing your shit with high pressure water there is literally 0 risk. Third worlders don't even do that. They just fucking put that in a brine to take away the gamey smell of free range chicken.

And before anyone asks, I live in Europe and our shit is probably far better in quality than your processed, highly stressed, mistreated piece of garbage you call "chickun".

Some cultures are autistic about any kinda gamey flavour in meat. This flavour is thought to be reduced by a soak in water. Chinese will let meat sit in cold water for 20+ minutes. The water goes red, wala.
Similar logic with Muslims maybe, since they drain the animal of blood via the halal slaughter method.

In some foods, it really does matter to reduce the amount of blood. In a broth, soup or braised dish, you will find grey, bloody, foamy gunk rise to the top unless you first boil the meat alone and skim this shit off. So there is some logic to it.
But not when black people scrub chicken breasts with soap. There's no logic to that at all.

I get you. More people globally wash meat than don't. They aren't all dropping dead. It's just that if you live in a first world country it really is a pointless step mostly. And if you don't have experience or are a retard then there's a chance of contaminating your kitchen.

my thoughts exactly

[Anonymous No.18892572]

I rinse and scrub my meat to get as many phthalates and whatever other crap off of it after sitting in shrink wrap plastic.

That said, on the topic of old meat many anons don't know shit about food poisoning. There are two kinds: bacterial and chemical. Chemical comes from bacterial excretions. So if meat has gone bad then might make it good by cooking, but if bacteria were shitting toxins then cooking won't help and you'll get sick. Rinse their shit off and cook it a bit and you've got better odds.

[Anonymous No.18892601]

>>18891667
"Slimy" is just what a dead animal's tissues feel like. That's what it's supposed to be like.
I think the idea that you should be washing meat comes from fundamentally mistaken ideas about what "Cleanliness" is. See most people just kind of drunkenly stumble through life believing vague nonsense like that something is "Clean" when it's dry and smooth and has nothing on it, but that has nothing to do with cleanliness. That's just the aesthetic of cleanliness. What cleanliness actually is, is when something is free of dangerous microbes and contaminants, which is what's going to happen anyway when you cook the fucking meat. So just cook it.

I agree with this but I still think the psychological effects count for something, even if they are unfounded. I know it's basically or even entirely pointless from a scientific perspective to run water over chicken before I cook it, but some of the gunk on it just weirds me out so sometimes I do it anyway. I just don't see a lot of reason not to when the sink is right there.

Where do you think the slime comes from?
Washing off the stuff that leaks out doesn't remove the stuff inside. You'll still be eating "slime" even after washing it.

[Anonymous No.18892662]

I get air chilled meat and it is never slimy. But I have the privilege to be able to afford that. If you can't, by all means, wash your slime. Or just marinate the shit, that ought to wash away the slime.

[Anonymous No.18892694]

>>18892506
It's called a brine you dumbfuck. Salt and any acid works because acids help tenderize and neutralize some of the stronger aromatic compounds. This why poultry is washed. Of course, you fuckers wash it with chlorine because no amount of vinegar or lemon juice would ever take the smell of a life of suffering in unhygienic battery cages. yummy.

Funny how a lot of people, America included, when they raise their own poultry, free range style, notice how the taste differs. Notice how the meat is a bit tougher because the muscles are actually used to move around. Notice how they actually have to wash their chicken in a salt/lemon bath to take the rougher smells out.

You can't really rinse toxins out of meat, because water alone simply can't clean things.

A lot of people believe that washing chicken disinfects it. It really doesn't. What it does however is removes, in the case of unchlorinated chickens, a lot of impurities that were left during the slaughtering process. The slime also has a gamey taste to it, so adding water helps to dilute that.

More often than not, traiditional washing in most countries is done by adding some acids, such as lemon or vinegar, that react with the chemical compounds associated with stronger smells. They don't hose the chicken, they either put it in a brining solution (not too long so that it actually brines, just a quick bath), or they rub it with some lemon and salt and then wash it off to remove the lemon and salt.

Makes sense. I'll try that instead of just washing if I suspect bad meat next time. Fortunately I usually wash + marinate in Worcestershire sauce so maybe that neutralizes bacteria poopies to an extent.

Or maybe you have no idea what these words, therefore you're afraid of them because you're an uneducated retard.
Case in point, your use of the word "unironically".
Toxins are the toxic secretions of bacteria that live on and within the meat. They're the reason why rotten meat, even if you thoroughly sterilize it, would still get you sick.
Impurities have nothing to do with this and are basically shit you don't want to have in your plate. unplucked feathers, coagulated blood, any unappetizing crap you don't want to have in your dish, but aren't necessarily toxic.

[Anonymous No.18892764]

Are the toxins and impurities in the room with you now? None of that shit is present in fresh store-bought meat, so again, shizo posting about toxins and impurities is an obvious sign of a retard as you've now demonstrated further.

I don't think you understood my post. If you suspect bad meat, you should throw that shit out. Smelling gamey is perfectly normal. Smelling off is not good. Washing the meat to clear the former can be a good idea, but the doing it for the latter is playing with fire.
