What's something dumb or useless people do when cooking because they saw it on from a YouTube video? (lemmy.world)

The issue is that the chicken bacteria (potentially salmonella or campylobacter) gets splashed around inside and outside the sink.

    We do this all the time in asia, no widespread food poisoning despite science claiming it will. It's always the westerner claiming it will, or you guys just have some of the weakest sauce stomach.

    It's an entirely unnecessary step. If you practice decent food hygiene it probably doesn't significantly increase your likelihood of contaminated food, but it very easily could especially if you arent following other best practices.

    Do whatever you want, and make fun of me all you want. I'm not going to do extra work to increase my odds of shitting myself

    Unnecessary for you, necessary for a lot of place. Or not, nobody care. I've seen more people making fun of others for doing so than those who make fun of other for not, so i'm not sure why you think i'm making fun of you, i didn't even demand you to do so(while the other way around is true, look at your other comment). Again, there's no widespread of food poisoning happening for those who washed their chicken yet the moment someone mention they did people coming in being hysterical about the potential food poisoning. At this point it's just superiority complex.

    Is that a realistic problem?

    I don’t know. I am aware of this argument and I still wash chicken and pork, and pat dry with a paper towel before cooking. I never wash beef unless it’s packed wet, because I don’t want to ruin the searing. I wash chicken because I find it gross otherwise. I never noticed that this habit of washing caused any problems.
