Never family. Never.
Cleaning your chicken is pointless. It really comes down to common sense. Water is not or has ever been a disinfectant. How is water cleaning your chicken? What I find amazing is that 90% of people don't even have the proper chemicals to clean the bacteria that is spread from washing the chicken.Same. I rinse with cold water, then either a mix of lemon juice diluted in water or rub some type of citrus on there (lime, etc.).
Still going through the responses, but this argument makes zero sense when whether you wash or not, you are still handling raw chicken. So the contamination really boils down to whether your cleaning up after yourself properly NOT whether or not you wash.
Most of these ppl who fight for reasons NOT to clean their chicken are just some lazy mthfkrs. Same folks who argue about whether or not you should take your shoes off in the house, kiss dogs, and go 50/50 on washing their hands after using the bathroom. They want to feel better about their wicked ways. I mean do you, but don't obsess over people that actually have good habits.
This shit really pisses me off
Bruh that made no sense. The heat is what kills the bacteria and it is the reason you cook food.
Dishwasher utilizes high heat to kill germs. Hand washing is not the best method as in most cases the dishrag will be contaminated with bacteria.The hell you can't.
What they are saying is that your method does not work. You can't disinfect chicken by cleaning it. It is impossible.
How is water disinfecting that?
All of your points are salient and true...I'm still gonna wash off uncooked meats and veggies as a matter of PRACTICE if only for my own peace of mind.
What they mean is this. With me having a cleaning business, many lack the knowledge to properly disinfect their surfaces. Almost every house where we do germ cultures, it comes back with thousands of bacteria
Manufacturers: what do you mean white people need cleaning products now? We get no sales in Europe when it comes to wash cloths.. the world truly is coming to an end when white people want to cleanShit like this is why we are out of sanitizer, soap, vinegar and rubbing alcohol. Cac's don't use this shit on the regular and then decided to hoard everything.
So shitty.
So, if your raw chicken rolls off the counter-top and lands in a huge pile of fresh dog shit that your pet accidentally unloaded, all you gotta do is use the edge of the boots you wore while working at the municipal sewer plant to scrape off the excess shit, then plop that motherfucker right into the oven! OK, OK..... I know that's not what you're saying, but.... IT IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!
Are you serious? Bleach is what turns toilet water into municipal drinking water! Chlorine! I worked for years in water distribution.... intake water from a river, lake or basin,..... screen out the fish, turds and debris...... run it through sand filters, add chlorine (bleach) phosphorus and fluoride, and back to your faucet.
it tasted good so what you think is irrelevant
Without getting in to a long post on science and to keep it simple. What you described is completely different from surface living bacteria or viruses. Bleach is very unstable when on surfaces and can have its disinfectant properties easily deactivated if the surface is not prepped prior to adding the bleach solution.
What you described is not a bacteria/virus issue. At that point you are risk ingesting lethal pathogen in your body. What will most likely occur if you were to get sick is the level of toxins, which would be the by product of the things and pathogens in dog shit. Cooking would kill the bacteria but the toxins left behind would still remain. I get what you were attempting to say but bad analogy.
And right there in what you said lies the answer to the whole dilemma. If I took a piece of penny candy and dropped it into a community urinal at a sports stadium then sent it to a lab to be made 100% hygienic, you still wouldn't eat it. That's cause it's in your head what that candy has been through. It might now be the cleanest piece of candy in the state but I don't want it and you don't want it. And that's why I wash my chicken.... cause it makes me feel better about what I'm eating whether it's scientifically true or not.
Until it does.
fizz-naggot
no because you probably won't shake the visual to eat it. also, there will be a different taste. but bacteria is not immortal.
...speaking of not cleaning ish: I dated this chick once upon a time that didn't rinse the rice before cooking it. She was half Puerto Rican too. Rice was mad starchy on the back end
Seems just about every opinion on the net says I been doing it wrong all my life and washing grocery store chicken, or any other raw meat for that matter, is DANGEROUS!
Should You Wash Raw Chicken?

Should you wash raw chicken? Many people think so, but Consumer Reports has better advice to keep you safe from food poisoning.www.consumerreports.org
This common practice may be putting you at risk for food poisoning

To wash or not to wash: When it comes to chicken, that is the question many cooks have. One survey report published in the Journal of Food Protection found that 70 percent of people do it.
“People think they have to wash or rinse chicken before they cook it for many reasons—because their mama did it, they think they need to remove slime or blood, or they think it’s safer,” says James E. Rogers, Ph.D., director of food safety and testing at Consumer Reports. “But doing this may actually increase your chances of getting food poisoning.”
Rogers’ assessment was backed up in a recent study from the Department of Agriculture Food Safety Inspection Service. Researchers filmed nearly 300 people preparing a meal of chicken thighs and a salad in a test kitchen the same way they did at home and found that those who washed or rinsed the bird were leaving a trail of bacteria around the kitchen. In real life, that's a situation that could make you or others sick.
The study included only people who said they had washed chicken the last time they prepared it. Its main purpose was to test whether sending participants food safety messages before they came to the test kitchen, telling them not to wash chicken, would prevent them from doing so. But as part of the study, the researchers also spiked the chicken with a harmless strain of bacteria that acted like salmonella, then they traced where the bacteria went during the meal prep.
Being told not to wash chicken did stop the majority of people from doing so—only 7 percent of the people who got an email message washed the chicken during the test, compared with 61 percent of those who didn’t get an email.
In those who washed the chicken, 60 percent had bacteria in their sink afterward; 14 percent still had bacteria in the sink after cleaning it. And 26 percent of them transferred bacteria to the salad they were preparing, compared with 20 percent of those who didn’t wash.
The lettuce contamination caused by the people who didn’t wash their chicken probably came from improper handwashing, the researchers said. Just 25 percent of all the people in the study washed their hands every time they should have during meal prep, and only 2 percent did so correctly. The most common mistake was not rubbing their hands with soap for at least 20 seconds.
“Not following proper food safety precautions when you’re preparing chicken is risky,” says Rogers. “The chances are high that chicken you buy is contaminated with harmful bacteria, such as salmonella and campylobacter, and I always assume so when I’m prepping it.”
Staying Safe
To stay safe, follow these meal prep steps:
Wash your hands before you start cooking. Use soap and rub your hands for at least 20 seconds—the time it would take you to sing the ABC song in your head—rinse, then dry your hands on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Only 4 percent of the people in this study performed all these steps correctly before they started to prep the meal.
Prep foods you’ll eat raw before prepping raw poultry or meat. If salad greens and other foods you're not going to cook are taken care of first (and removed from the prep area), there’s less chance of contaminating them with harmful bacteria, the USDA says.
Do not wash the chicken. “You won’t remove salmonella or other bacteria that can cause illness if it is there, and, as this study shows, you only increase the risk of contaminating your kitchen or other food you’re preparing,” says Rogers. If there’s anything on the chicken you want to remove, pat it with a damp paper towel and then wash your hands immediately, the USDA advises.
You waited till page three to come in and have a gay ass hissy fit about what I post? Negro, why you give a fuck what I post? There's plenty of bandwidth left for you to post two muthafukas rubbing dicks, or trannies playing volleyball or whatever your thing is. If you're so interested in bandwidth being wasted on things you don't find interesting the why the fuck you bring your bitch ass in here and waste even more? I'm TRYIN' to understand this place, I really am, but some of you bitch boys defy all logic!Jeezus..... about every year or so someone's gotta make a thread about this...... you would've known too if you took 30 seconds to type and do a search.....even the article you posted is a damn year old....
