To not wash.....

[cheekybarsteward]

a chicken before I put it in the oven?
Why do you need to wash something that is about to be cooked for one and a half hours at a hot temperature?
Do you wash your beef as well, how about your bacon?

Can't believe any germs could survive my oven anyway, tis rare the meal does!

Stick it in the dishwasher

I think they can use any crucifix and I don't think they are usually silver. You'd just haver to hope you didn't have a particularly slobbery person ahead of you.

It has never, in 30 years of cooking, occured to me to wash the outside of meat before cooking it.

I rinse the inside of a turkey/chicken out, simply because I want to get rid of any shards or bone that may be inside...

It never ever ceases to amaze me that some people are so obsessed with 'germs' that they'd consider washing a chicken or indeed any meat. Why? Just tell me why? Are you the same people that shower three times a day and disinfect your houses with chemicals all day long?

Do you eat the actual inside of the chicken then squeaky?

It has never ever occurred to me to wash a chicken before cooking it :S It seems a very strange idea to me!

Stupid question, but, if you put a chicken (or any other meat) in the dishwasher, would it cook? obviously not to eat but wondered if it might boil itn or something

Are you the same people that shower three times a day and disinfect your houses with chemicals all day long?

I shower with my chicken to save time and water.

Very wise worra. I hope you use anti-bac soap? And fgs get a hazmat test done in case anyone's ever pee'd in your shower.

I heard a TV chef once tell someone to poach a salmon in their dishwasher that wouldn't fit in their oven whole. That James dude on Saturday kitchen I think.

Who the fuck washes any kind of meat?!

Oh I always pee in the shower Lentilly

Sometimes I do it during my shower too...

@ worra

Do you eat the actual inside of the chicken then squeaky?

Er no.. but I do like to eat the stuffing that I put inside it, preferably sans bone!

I only wash mine after I pluck and gut and before they go in the freezer. I do a batch at a time though and the sterilising everything and wiping down is part and parcel of it all

You can cook salmon or any other fish of that type in the dishwasher, thoroughly wrapped in foil, although I use the family fishkettle that get swapped around the sisterhood from time to time when needed. Have eaten dishwasher cooked salmon, it was lush.

You mustnt do it.
My OH insisted on doing it because that is what his mum did.

How you would wash away Samonella with tepid tap water is a mystery to me.
I didnt appreciate my sink and backwash being splattered with bits of chickeness.
I put my foot down and introduced him to google.

Doesnt the Dishwasher Salmon come out all soapy?

Only if you've run it with soap and a load of washing in MrsDeVere

Do you use the lemon dishwasher tablets for extra flavour?

So its not an energy saving thing then?

Heard great story about the silver challis

Woman hated the idea of all those germs so always tried to go up for communion before everyone else (didn't mind the Vicars germs).
One Sunday she was fourth in line so told the vicar she had a cold sore and only wanted bread.
At the end of the service vicar brought her the challis and gave her the wine - with everyone's germs

Yes, silver is meant to kill th germs, but I'm never convinced, but saying that I'm still alive :)

I iron mine
