  Didn’t watch the video, but I have a degree in this field. We were taught to always wash chicken, in a separate room. I was given an earful one time when I was working at the kindergarten kitchen when I forgot to wash chicken thoroughly.

    You’ll have to be more specific about what “this field” is. Restaurant sanitation? Food safety? Chicken washing? Microbiology?

    Whatever your degree, it’s not the recommended practice.

    You render meat safe to eat by killing the bacteria with fire, commonly called “cooking it”.

      Degree is in Food production technology. Sanitation, safety of preparation and storage. Before cooking, meat can go all over working place, and it can contaminate it if not washed.

        Sounds like you maybe learned about food preparation in a factory setting, which is different than in a kitchen setting.

        Per USDA and CDC guidelines, you shouldn’t wash poultry before cooking because you’re more likely to spread any contamination, you’re unlikely to remove contamination that’s present since it’s not like it just lives on top of the tissue, and it’s already been washed during processing.

        Obviously if you’re the party doing the actual processing for distribution then things are different since you need to remove potential traces of feces, dirt or other surface contamination.

    You were taught wrong. You don’t wash chicken. It only spreads germs.

      I’m inclined to trust my professors that had years of experience, rather than someone off the internet.

        The FDA doesn’t recommend it, and I am more inclined to trust them instead of a single professor. If you really do it in a different room there should be not be any contamination, but in my opinion it is bad practice anyway. It’s much safer just to cook the chicken to the right temperature. But maybe you can point us in the right direction if this should be handled differently in bigger kitchens, like you said.

        That is the correct position to hold.

    I dunno who taught you that, or what dipshit was running a school that allowed it, but the bare fact that it is not only unnecessary, but potentially dangerous, has been known for decades.

    always wash chicken, in a separate room

    Oh dang, I’ll have to move to a bigger house. My current home is lacking a chicken washing room.

      personally I just use the bull de-horning room for this purpose

    Hang on. You’re telling me, all kindergartens in your area have a separate room, just for washing chicken? Like"Here’s where the kids keep their bags, here’s the toilets, this is the chicken washing room, and over there we keep the crafts."

    • ma1w4re@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      There a multiple compartments to every kitchen, at least should be to adhere to sanitary documentation. A separate room for washing dishes, a separate room for cleaning vegetables, a separate room for cleaning meat and a separate room for cooking. The cooking room has separated workplaces for different kinds of food to reduce contamination.

        everybody else is talking about home cooking, and that it’s not recommended to wash chicken from a supermarket at home. probably in whatever context you have these multiple compartments recommendations are different

        I’ll call bullshit on that unless you’re using the wrong words to describe these rooms. I know the field from a cook perspective and no kindergarten has multiple rooms for cooking and meal prep. You’re thinking about the setup in a factory that does food transformation. Transformation and preparation are two completely different things.

    Having worked in restaurants for years and been to multiple health and safety classes in multiple states, I call bullshit.

    Washing chicken spreads bacteria all over everything wherever it’s done: the walls, floor, ceiling. Do you sanitize the ceiling after you do this?

      Listen mate, you can call bullshit all you want, I’m citing official documentation of my country that worked for years, specifically this one “СП 2.3.6.1079-01”, under part VIII, 8.9.
