To rinse my mince

[YangShanPo]

I felt like it would be nice to see a normal MN debate on AIBU this evening so am I? Gets all the fat off and leaves your mince nice and clean.

But seriously no. It's actually not hygienic to rise raw meat. It's not recommended. Bacteria in raw meat and poultry juices can be spread to other foods, and surfaces while rinsing. It can cause this cross-contamination.

The fuckers rinsing mince to “get rid of fat” better not be doing it directly in the sink.

Otherwise I’m going to hunt each and every one of you down and force you to chew on a bit of manky fatberg that’s been sitting in the sewer for months...

Got this feeling of deja vu....

Don't do that - you are rinsing solid fats into the drain system. Just fry it and spoon off excess fat into a cup and bin the fat once it solidifies.

I don't rinse my mince.

Blimey, the thread this references is from 10 years ago. No wonder so many are wtf?

I'd misremembered, I thought it was someone whose DH was a mince rinser.

Sounds like some sort of bizarre sexual practice.

TwatCat - given your name was that really a typo re mice?

10 years ago, no way. I've been here too long.

If anyone's interested, domain rinsemymince.com appears to be available to buy. I had to check, didn't I? Actually, I am quite tempted...

I fry the mince, then put in a litlle bit of boiling water from the kettle. Tip the pan, the fat rises to the top and I skim it off with a ladle. Some mince is really fatty and I'm on a diet for medical reasons, so I don't want to eat a load of fat if I can help it.

That long ago was it, minced it the 1st time round lol

Ops i mean missed it, got mince rinsing on my brain.

Dyrne and clockworklime beat me to it. DO NOT rinse fat into the sink, you will cause blocked drains and fatbergs. Eat it or cook it and drain it.

Your mince!

I’m so surprised at this poll, I’ll have to ask my friends. I have always rinsed mince under the tap before cooking.

That's a new one on me OP...
Never heard of such a thing

Rinsing gets rid of fat? I'm going start drinking more water!

Do not rinse raw meat increases risk of spread of disease. If cooked drain the fat no need to rinse

I loved that original thread. IIRC it descended into a load of rhyming posts.

Rinse his mince?
Freeze his cheese?
Wipe his tripe?
Put a tater through the grater?

Happy days...

Are you an oldie reliving your yoof op?

I've never heard of mince rinsing! I buy mince with the least fat content, cook it in the oven (only use it for chilli). Mince is on the shopping list for this week.

funny thread from years ago

Fucking hell, now I feel old because I actually got that reference!

Who's brave enough to start a thread about toilet brushes? Or perhaps offer something for the sporners?

Ah - that was the thread I remembered, so it was a DP.

Only 9 years ago.

I felt quite nostalgic reading that and seeing some of the old names.

There were some funny buggers on here back in the day
