A common question in the kitchen is whether or not you should wash meat before cooking it. The answer might surprise you!
The Risks of Washing Meat
While washing meat might seem like a natural step before cooking, it’s not recommended by food safety experts. Here’s why:
Spread of Bacteria: Washing raw meat can actually spread harmful bacteria, like Salmonella and E. coli, around your kitchen. When you wash meat, water splashes and can contaminate surrounding surfaces, utensils, and even other foods. This increases the risk of foodborne illnesses.
Unnecessary: Most meats, like chicken, beef, pork, and lamb, do not need washing before cooking. Cooking the meat at the right temperature will kill bacteria, rendering the washing step unnecessary.
