ITT: people who undercook their chicken think that washing is what's saving them when in reality, washing your chicken only enables a host of cross-contamination issues. Congratulations for turning your sink into a biohazard facility.
Wait, you don't eat chicken medium rare?
If you hold your chicken for ten minutes at temperature, you can cook it medium rare and pink. https://blog.thermoworks.com/chicken-internal-temps-everything-you-need-to-know/
Eww. Also tough so also eww.
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.
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 pork on a bun.
It seems, you can get away with raw meat, if you buy it freshly ground from the butcher.
Edit: wrong kind of meat
I'm Italian and I caught toxoplasmosis eating raw sausage ground meat as a kid, sooo...
But I did that for a long time before anything happened.
On a bun? That's Mett and it's pork. Yes, ground raw pork. It's quite tasty. Sprinkle of onion usually.
He's getting it mixed up with Wisconsin, which does raw ground beef on a bun.
Tratare sandwich? Sounds delicious!
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 buy my filet américain at my local grocery store. It is made of a beef/pork mix (the fancier the more beef) and usually has an expiry date of T+2 days thanks to the added preservatives.
Industrially processing raw meat is perfectly doable, much to the Americans' utter disbelief. Belgium has entire specialized industrial supply chains for the massive local demand of raw ground meat bread spread.
Certainly, it's just a lot more work than the less sanitary "chuck the extra meat into the grinder" method we use here.
I'd love to try that raw beef spread BTW. I've had beef sashimi before, and it was great.
Rinsing and scrubbing will spread micro droplets a lot further than your sink.
i thought it said "than you sink" and that you were making a German coastguard joke
Shoutout Cornelis Drebbel
vat?
Are you sinking about?
This is why I don't clean the dishes in my sink... Not trying to spread any micro droplets.
