Lotta people apparently thaw meat on the countertop overnight. My mothers husband and his kids only really stopped when I went all "hello I literally have a food manage safety cert, please stop making me cry with this meat thing"

Lots of petting animals then cutting up food and such from other friends. Animals are not allowed in the food making area when food is being made. Cats might think they can go where they want but they are not allowed and learn or get locked up in the room with food and cat box. They then have learned. One use to watch from the door way and prance in when I said "done now"

After cooking ground beef, rinsing it in a colander.

JFC. You strain the oil off it if there’s a lot but you don’t rinse it with water.

This post was prompted by a memory of going grocery shopping with a friend. When we got to his place he proceeded to cut open the pack of chicken breasts, open the freezer (normal so far), and place the raw chicken breasts one by one on the freezer shelf with no bags or wrapping of any kind.

He explained to me that he used a window scraper to get them out when he was ready to thaw one and did so by just throwing the raw-dogged breasts in a sliding drawer at the bottom of the fridge. I never ate anything he cooked after that

I saw a human person use Tide laundry detergent to wash a Thanksgiving turkey.

One of my ex girlfriends would wash her dishes without rinsing them. Ues soapy water to scrub them and just put them in the dish strainer.

Edit: spelling

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Okay hear me out. Do this, lick the plate, see if you can taste the soap. Dishwashing soap is food safe (in the sense that you can only intentionally poison yourself with it) so taste is the only thing that matters. You could even do a blind taste test to really get scientific with it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I was led to believe that soap left on dishes can give you diarrhea or worse.

I mean, dishwashers and even washing machines for clothes have a rinsed cycle for a reason, I'd bet.

A backflip, but this was at a houseparty for their birthday so maybe not that odd

Opened their fridge and took a sip of ketchup straight from the bottle.
