Some people have started washing ground beef after it’s been cooked.
“We’ve also seen the trend of washing ground beef after it’s been cooked,” says Clark. “From a food safety standpoint, there’s no need, but if you’re worried about the grease, my suggestion is to simply drain your ground beef. Anything that remains is going to be the great flavor that you don’t want to miss out on.”
So, what do professional chefs think about this trend? We asked Ferrell Alvarez, a chef and restaurant owner from Tampa, who runs The Proper House Group. One of his restaurants, Nebraska Mini-Mart, serves burgers.
“I’ve never heard of rinsing ground beef, ever,” says Alvarez. “I don’t think it’s going to harm anything, but there’s no point at all.”
Bottom Line
Don’t rinse raw ground beef — it can actually spread harmful bacteria around your kitchen through splashing. Once the beef is cooked, rinsing it only washes away the flavor. If you’re trying to cut down on grease, just drain it. No need to rinse — it’s not worth it.
