Here's proof that washing raw chicken can splatter unwanted bacteria around your kitchen.
Years ago, I stopped rinsing chicken. Just transfer chicken from the wrapping to the roasting pan. Then wash your hands!
Cook to 165 degree. Love my instant read thermometer.
Pasteurization is a factor of time + temperature. A high temperature for a short time or a lower temperature for a longer time. That is the effect of Sous Vide cooking and it is perfectly safe to have medium rare chicken if the rules are followed. [polyscienceculinary.com] or for chicken: [seriouseats.com]
Chicken tartare with a sun warmed mayonnaise sauce is a little understood but effective sandwich spread. For your enemies.
Does that mean it’s bad to suck up the delicious raw chicken juice left over in the container?
Go ahead and do it and I'll come to your funeral. Will there be food at the wake?
@ADKSparky No, but there will be an open bar.
I usually kill, gut and pluck outside, then dunk it in a bucket of fresh water ... sometimes buy chicken breasts for a big cook up - dunk them in a bucket of fresh water too (water gets thrown onto garden) .. I normally shower after gutting - messy job
Any ideas on effectively disinfecting raw vegetables from the grocery store?
When we lived overseas in 3rd world countries, we were told to add a bit of clorax to water. I now use a bit of apple cider vinegar instead as it is safer. You can also use hydrogen peroxide safely.
Sometimes I do a brine soak
Then the salt water is a stew of bacteria.
@LiterateHiker brine is antibacterial if strong also helpful for wild game does disinfect
@LiterateHiker
You do realize that bacteria float in the air. It gets on everything, clean dishes, in your drink, and the air you breathe. Yes, meat does have bad bacteria, and requires you to cook it till no longer raw.
I brine turkey and chicken...as long as you throw out the brine and cook the meat, it is quite safe. I have never rinsed turkey or chicken.
