to expect DH to accept that when I say I dont want to do something, nothing he says will make me do it?

... touching a raw chicken

DH was annoyed to find me washing it in the sink, holding it with a wooden spoon and told me to get a grip and just hold it instead.
Yuk.

What does your DP think you'll eventually come around to?

You do know that washing chicken is pointless and dangerous, right? You end up splashing dirty water all over the kitchen. If the outside of the chicken is dirty, it doesn't really matter, as it gets cooked v thoroughly, anyway.

Ha, that will shut him up!

I thought this was going to be far more interesting

Here is a cite for the 'don't wash' argument.

My DH used to think you needed to wash meat, too.

why on EARTH would you wash meat ????

Dunno! DH has always done it.
He does whine about me not touching raw meat though, but its gross!

I hate handling raw meat and use a pair of rubber gloves

I hate touching raw chicken, but i will do it. However I made my husband take the giblets out of the backside of a duck, luckily they were in a bag. He put the marigolds on to do it though! And i had to ask him about twenty times

If he's that bothered about how you handle his meat get him to deal with it himself ...

oh dear, im quite confused now, well that could be the chardonnay, i wonder how many of us are reading posts through a haze (hic) but i always wash the chicken, inside and out, am i doing wrong? am i?

I'm a vegetarian who has never cooked meat and even I know you don't wash it😆

It’s another zombie - don’t post.
