Red meat can be eaten rare, because even if the inside is raw, it’s not usually contaminated by anything dangerous, while chicken meat has to be throughly cooked because it’s the opposite… So washing the outside is useless.

ITT: people who undercook their chicken think that washing is what’s saving them when in reality, washing your chicken enables a host of cross-contamination issues.

Only if it’s a slab of meat, like a steak. Ground meat mixes up all those contaminants, so unless you grind it yourself from a slab with the outsides cut off (still iffy), cook your ground meat thoroughly (medium well is probably enough). You can get away with a sear on pretty fresh steak though.

And then there are the Germans, eating raw ground beef on a bun.
It seems, you can get away with raw meat, if you buy it freshly ground from the butcher.Tja@programming.dev 2 months ago
On a bun? That’s Mett and it’s pork. Yes, ground raw pork. It’s quite tasty. Sprinkle of onion usually.

Yeah, as long as the equipment is sterile, and the edges with the bacteria are removed. That’s not happening at your local grocery store.

I’m Italian and I caught toxoplasmosis eating raw sausage ground meat, sooo…
But I did that for a long time before anything happened.

Wait, you don’t eat chicken medium rare?
Zanz@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
If you hold your chicken for ten minutes at temperature, you can cook it medium rare and pink. blog.thermoworks.com/chicken-internal-temps-every…

Rinsing and scrubbing will spread micro droplets a lot further than your sink.

This is why I don’t clean the dishes in my sink… Not trying to spread any micro droplets.
