or is this fucking gross?

[sadpapercourtesan]

Using kitchen scissors to separate a string of raw sausages, then using the scissors (without washing them) to open a packet of frozen fruit, to be eaten raw with yoghurt.

YABU - no biggie

YANBU - that's fuckin' rank

YABU

Yes of course rank.

I thought this was going to be actually gross, rather than mildly gastronomically risky.

I'd struggle to give a shit about this.

Not gross as such but very unhygienic imo

I'd struggle to give a shit about this.

Me too. I was expecting something vile when I opened this thread.

Do the scissors actually touch the fruit?

Unless the scissors were covered in raw meat, which I doubt, I don’t think I would care about this.

Gross would be going seconds on the dog’s cheese string or washing your toilet brush in the kitchen sink.

I wouldn't say gross, but risky and unhygienic. I would not want to eat this person's cooking.

Same.

Cross contamination. Its a no no.

I mean there might be a mild hygiene risk... but barely as the scissors wouldn’t touch the fruit. I think you can chill.

The scissors wouldn't exactly be coated in raw meat though, it would be a bit different if they were used to cut an actual joint in half or something, and then being directly used on something ready to eat. It would be entirely possible to get the fruit out without touching a part of the bag that's been in contact with the raw meat scissors surely?

Meh. Would not bother me but I am a bit of a skank. And lazy. Expect I have done worse tbh! I would rinse them if I was using the scissors on the actual fruit itself but the packet, probably not.

Bad food hygiene.
I wouldn’t want to share my kitchen with that person.

You should keep any utensils that have been used on raw meat away from anything that's not going to be cooked.

High risk of cross contamination.

I'm amazed that some people think this is OK

Are the scissors washed or not between?

Bah take a ton of it to kill you

@WithinAForestDark

I'd struggle to give a shit about this.

Same here.

@Splodgetastic

Are the scissors washed or not between?

without washing them

Yanbu

It's not good practice but I doubt it'll kill anyone

It really wouldn't bother me at all.

I'm prepared to be told that makes me disgusting according to MN though

But the scissors aren’t actually touching the fruit?

Honestly wouldn't warrant much more than a "eer, don't do that again" from me
