Unhygienic cooking of raw chicken - AIBU?

[erghjklkuytrh]

I live with family and earlier I saw a member of my family cooking raw chicken, I saw them use the hand that had been handling the raw chicken to undo jars of spices, turn the cooker on and go in the cutlery drawer. I don't eat meat so have a strong aversion to raw meat to start with, but AIBU to be annoyed and want to confront them about it? I know they will be annoyed at me and think I'm being OTT but the whole kitchen feels contaminated and disgusting now, it turned my stomach. I had a recent bout of food poisoning and after seeing what happened today I'm pretty sure I know how I got it...

Yuck 🤢

I always keep one hand clean and one hand for handling raw chicken.

This is disgusting. Ban them from cooking. They could kill someone.

Yep you are right shouldn't use the same hand .. usually best to get the spices mixed then wash hands and handle the chicken .. can't be too careful especially in this weather x

YANBU

I once saw my husband prepare raw chicken and then wipe his hands on the tea towel. 😡

I agree, this sounds grim.

You don't need to "confront" them, just show them some information about the dangers of handling raw chicken.

YANBU. I just marinated some chicken and washed my hands with soap at least 5 times until it went in fridge.

Particularly in such warm weather food hygiene should be stringent.

I eat meat but would be disgusted by that casual approach.

Try educating them rather than confronting them.
You are right to be concerned.

Shudder. Can you make plans to move out?

I get packs of 100 plastic food handling gloves on ebay; grab a pack of those and a bottle of anti bac kitchen spray

That's a big no no

Urgh. I wouldn't eat there. If they're that lax with chicken what are they like with other things. I'm guessing the chicken hand goes on your veggie food too if they are cooking for you...

Confront them?!

It's gross and dangerous and of course they should wash their hands after touching raw chicken.

But all this language of confronting and challenging is absolutely bonkers.

Yuck. When I handle raw meat, I use a dedicated chopping board and then wash my hands (usually can manage to avoid touching it) and pour boiling water on the chopping board.

Omg who is actually voting YABU ?! Disgusting!

Yeuck! can you antibac wipe the jars, fridge door, taps etc.?

Also if you have a dishwasher pop all the cutlery into it or wash them in hot soapy water.

YANBU. My husband is banned from handling raw chicken (over and above any other meat) for this reason. I don’t even let him clean the plastic tray it come in, for recycling. He can’t be trusted.

But all this language of confronting and challenging is absolutely bonkers.

At least she didn’t use the dreaded phrase, “calling out”!

Dirty idiot! Of course you should say something. I'm surprised you didn't at the time!

I find this so hard to believe. It’s not even like you could forget you’ve just been handling raw chicken when you’re trying to open jars with slimy hands is it? It’s gross and it’s crazy that you’re hesitant about confronting a member of your own family about it.

If you think that's bad...I once watched FIL baste a chicken by scooping his hand into the butter, back to chicken, back to butter...you get the picture! Made me bork.

Ask them to lick the surface. If they won't then they know what they've done is gross.

just explain Campylobacter to them 🤮
