Oops! I left something out. The Jones book says ...

"Just a tenth of the cells of our bodies are human. Most of the rest belong to bacteria (although a few fungi, mites and worms leaven the mix)."

There are recipes for cooking in your dish washer. Not kidding.

I guess they cannot figure out to wash the chicken under the sink faucet then transfer it to a plate or board before cooking then wash where the chicken has touched. I wash poultry and have never had water droplets slung ever which a way around the kitchen.

Stop egging people on.

I hate to break it to these geniuses, but that’s why you disinfect the countertop, sink, etc., and wash hands after preparing raw meat.

Mrs p6 can't stand it when I cook. I clean the counter, knives, sink, pans, EVERYTHING as I go. Drives her NUTZ but that's a short drive after living with me for near 40 years....

To each his or her own, I guess. I cook that way. Hubby loves that I do, makes a lot less mess to clean up after we eat.

“Kosher salt. Wet chicken, rub kosher salt all over, inside and out, and rinse. It’ll kill everything.”

Not only that, but salting the bird the night before, rinsing thoroughly, dusting the cavity with sage, then stuff with celery, carrot & onion (discarded after cooking) results in moist tender roast chicken with no dry white meat.

I just toss mine in the dishwasher. Put a little dawn in there and blammo. Squeaky clean.

You know there is a recipe for dishwasher salmon. I've never tried it.

And ya can’t go swimmin’ in a watermelon patch!

(But you can be happy if you’ve a mind to!)

“Don’t egg people on. “

I was going to say something obvious, but you made me chicken out.

[JennysCool]

As long as people get paid by the government (in this case, Britain’s) to scare people about literally everything they do, the scaring will never cease.

[dalereed]

Don’t listen, the british don’t know how to cook anything and make it fit to eat!

[353FMG]

Cook’m first and then pluck’m.

DON’T EAT THE FEATHERS!!

[TomGuy]

I’ll wash my chicken whenever I darned well please.

I'm waiting for Michelle to weigh in on this. Where is she anyway? Another vacation??? Is chicken on her list of approved food items?

[Billthedrill]

You have to stay a breast of the thread or the posters will fly the coop. You can’t catch a rebel, but you can cacciatore.

[Pentagon Leatherneck]

Beer. Good for everything.

My Welsh Grandmother cooked everything until it turned gray, Blees her soul. Gray meat, gray vegetables, everything gray! There was nothing left alive, including the flavor!
