CDC: Stop washing your raw chicken
fox ^ | 2 May 2019 | Alexandria Hein

Don’t wash your raw chicken! Washing can spread germs from the chicken to other food or utensils in the kitchen. https://go.usa.gov/xmTqz

The agency recommended placing raw chicken in a disposable bag before placing it in the shopping cart or refrigerator, washing hands with soapy water after handling it, using a separate cutting board to handle it, and never placing cooked food or fresh produce on the same surface as uncooked chicken.

Yeah, well that’s because standards in chicken prep took a step backwards in the 90s.

For some, it is just until they need to wear glasses.

Or maybe bifocals...

Turns out the plastic is worse than the wood!!!

I keep my knives quite sharp. When I notice cuts/grooves or such areas on my plastic board(s) I take them down in my shop and give them a good sanding with an orbital sander. Start with 220 grit, then to 400, then to 600, then to 1200 wet. Takes very little time and polishes the crap out of them....literally.

Chicken Prep certainly isn’t the school it once was.

Who wants to eat a lye-based germicide?

I think I’ll go with just cooking out the dread diseases.

Don’t you tell me what to do.

Nothing personal, bro.

Just a suggestion.

And you know, I would never want to accidentally trigger or insult you.

I always hop on one toe while rotating around the room, shaking the wet chicken fiercely...

No need for the dance routine.
Ask your choreographer.

I’m 71, have been cooking chicken and turkey for years without poisoning myself or anyone else. I’ll continue to do what I like without the CDC’s advice.

I'm 55 and rinse off my chicken in the sink, pat it dry with paper towels, then commence with spicing and cooking.

I'm inclined to think this may be part of the "avoid meat" movement.

Sam’s Club in particular offers an additional plastic bag. The juices from the chicken can leak out of the package. I’m not sure how practical it is to wash the chicken in the bag. You’d either have to take it outside or end up having to wash the counter anyway.

Interesting observation. I hadn't thought of that, but you may be right.

I hunt them in the wild, wring their necks after a furious wrestling contest, and tear the raw meat off their pulsing flanks with my teeth. Never got sick yet.

Uh...chickens got flanks, don't they?

Wait until they find out I not only wash it (more a rinse) and then soak it in pickle juice before frying.

I’ve said it for a long time:

The reason there are so many idiots nowadays is that there are warning labels everywhere. The idiots are surviving and having children. Perhaps if you don’t know to keep your hands and feet from under a mower, you should not reproduce...

Ewww. I assume you’re being facetious, but you probably wouldn’t want to eat it afterwards. Just watching it foam up would make me want to throw it in the bin. And it WILL foam up. Besides, peroxide will NOT kill salmonella. Vinegar is a good fruit and vegetable wash. Keep some in a spray bottle. Soaking meat in salt water will kill almost all bacteria. I always soak chicken in salt water. Funny, but I never think about washing beef. I wash pork, because unless I buy it at our local butcher shop, it always seems to have bits of bone dust on it. Pork bones are soft, so they give off a lot of bone dust during butchering, if the saws used are not regularly sharpener or replaced.

I have never picked up dog poo and stored it safely away in a plastic or any other bag. Call me crazy for leaving it where it is to fertilize the lawn NATURALLY. Ok, I will admit to encouraging the natural process by squirting the water hose on a pile once in a great while.

Ok, maybe those city dwellers who walk their dog on the sidewalks and have to scoop could use their plastic grocery bags instead of buying more. It’s sad to keep dogs locked in an apartment all day and let out on a leash to do their business once a day.

Those same idiots order everything online which is delivered with styrofoam peanuts and wrapped in bubble wrap inside a cardboard box that taped up with plastic tape and shipping info stuffed inside plastic bags.
