Why do we clean chicken, but not beef?

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

Shut yo goofy ass up

Explain how doing THIS will get salmonella “all over the counters”

1. No gloves and repeatedly touching things after touching the chicken with ungloved hands.
2. Discarded chicken bits in sink.
3. Discarding the tainted chicken water in the sink and splashing the water out the basin.


Cleaning chicken to me is removing the feathers and fatty bits of chicken, which is what some of the people in this thread is talking about. The majority of posters in here is talking about washing chicken under water(probably cold water) and acting like it’s killing bacteria. If anything you’re creating more unnecessary work for yourselves because I’m 100% sure most of y’all ain’t wearing gloves when you prep and cook food. You’d be better off just patting the chicken with a dry paper towel.

Because of superstition and tradition

There's no need to clean chicken before preparing or cooking it, and if you're reasoning is "blood and feathers" then it's time to stop eating roadkill

When you strip a hide off an animal like a cow you have taken off several layers more than you do on a chicken which is sold skin on. How many cuts of beef come wrapped in leather?



Brehs set up a false comparison then made false deductions about washing bacteria. These practises. When you get a chicken at the store iits de feathered. A cow meat is separated from the skin and top layer of fat. It has far less surface contamination.

Like I said this shyt is not worth a discussion with people who just buy dead animals. Go kill something. Then you will understand

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Ask a forum full of other men about washing meat, brehs

OP likes to watch meat get washed

I wash all my meat (pause). Nobody is splashing salmonella water all over the kitchen, we use basins.

I'm questioning a lot of yall black status rn, ngl.

Why you "pausing", aren't you female

 

[Yaboysix]

Only reason I do it is for the others I'm cooking for....if it was just me I'd eat it how it be...iont care

My Girl be tripping about "Feathers" and "Veins " left on the chicken and gotta have every last one of them plucked off....

Man, Fck them Feathers...I'll pull it off with my teeth when I'm at the Table... I'm finna eat

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

Y’all clean ground beef with soap and water?

i'm not worried about anything on the chicken, that burning the shyt out of it in a pan isn't gonna get rid of. and from google, this doesn't sound like something you have to worry about, buying chicken in america

it's never occurred to me to run my chicken under some tap water, like that makes some kind of difference

USDA research has found that washing or rinsing meat or poultry increases the risk for cross-contamination in the kitchen, which can cause foodborne illness. From a food safety perspective, washing raw poultry, beef, pork, lamb or veal before cooking it is not recommended as the safest method.

Interesting thing is, don't everybody complain about the quality of the tap water in America as well?

Edit: And I know everybody's to cheap to purchase that bottled water and use it to clean their chicken

 

[the cac mamba]

costco chicken breasts are nice and pristine, ready to cook right out of the vacuum seal. never seen anything resembling feathers and debris on them

i'm dying laughing at this thread, but maybe that's why i don't feel pressed about it nothing that gets past the visual test isn't getting burned the fukk off in the pan. if i saw some shyt that needed to be washed off, i would do it

 

[RiverCity916]

Wash your meats ( ) and cook them thoroughly to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

Chicken and pork should always be cooked well done.

I be hearing you in kroger

The funny thing about washing chicken is that it is dead easy to test.

Wash chicken in some vinegar and then eat it raw. Cook chicken straight out the package and then eat it.

No one in their right mind would think that washing chicken in vinegar is enough to remove the harmful bacterias. It's known that high temperature is what gets the job done.

I can understand cleaning chicken in a lemon or lime solution to get rid tastes you don't like, trimming it to get rid of excess. That's to do with the end result. From a hygiene point of view, you're doing more harm than good.

Hold up.

What chicken yall buying that still have feathers on it? Any chicken Ive ever bought at the store, including them whole chickens that still have the kidneys and shyt stuffed inside, have never had a single feather

 

[Ski Mask]

Speak for yo self I purify all of my meats in lake Minnetonka, before I cook and feast

 

[YakSpiller]

All the wypipo really letting it hang in this thread

It’s probably black people and other minorities that work at the USDA that would tell you the same.

I rinse my chicken but I don’t go in like these tik-took people basically putting it in a wash cycle before cooking.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

nikka who used to work at Food Town told me a long time ago,they be dropping chicken on the floor all the time
They just pick it up and wrap it
