If only there was a better way to kill bacteria in food than just washing it.

Better wash them:
Eating chickens is the most common source of Salmonella poisoning. A 2014 issue of Consumer Reports published that 97 percent of chicken breasts found in retail stores were contaminated with bacteria that could make people sick, and 38 percent of the Salmonella found was resistant to multiple antibiotics. And, according to a national retail-meat survey by the Food and Drug Administration, about 90 percent of retail chicken showed evidence of contamination with fecal matter.

Idk guys. I’m not scrubbing my chicken with bleach to kill bacteria. I just want to rinse off the shit from the factory. “Oh but they wash it!” I don’t believe they care enough to do it well. Whatever regulation is set forth by the CDC is kind of irrelevant if there is little enforcement.

No. You don’t wash chicken. Take a paper towel and pat it down, and that’s it. Washing the chicken one way to contaminate your sink, cooking area, and other foods with salmonella. It’s super important to properly cook your chicken to kill any bacteria.

If you cook the chicken properly, salmonella isn’t a concern.

Wouldn’t this be eliminated by cooking it

Washing Chicken Spreads Germs
My source is the CD Fucking C.
Hostile response aside, seriously: cooking chicken kills the bacteria. Trying to wash it just splatters disease around your kitchen.

Hear me out, fill bowl with water. Place chicken in bowl. Swirl a bit. Wash chicken. Dump water. No splashy splashy.

Are you dumping the water straight into a black hole?

That’s just wasting water and accelerating the water wars! I re-use my chicken water to wash my vegetables, and then my dishes. It’s such a first-world mindset to callously single-use water like that!
