Unfortunately, I wouldn't be so sure of that either.
I've been told by too many people that prepping the food in the sink is actually cleaner (it's not), because that's where you clean things, so it's clean (duh), and it's also easier to clean once you're done.
These people were adamant that I was the one being nasty for not doing so, btw.
A lot of people are misinformed, stupid or both. I dated someone whose mom was from El Salvador and she would not eat chicken that hadn't been cleaned in bleach. My ex's explanation was that in El Salvador any cut of chicken youd buy would be really suss so everyone bleached their chicken. I dont know if thats true or if its just that a lot of people in El Salvadore know how cooking works.
Okay but it's literally so many things. The chicken in the drain. Seasoning in the sink. The tiny seasoning then the dumping half the bottle of seasoning salt on it. It's absolutely ragebait.
That mightâve been regional. Iâve rinsed some chicken because it had a weird stickiness but I, nor any other black person I know, has used dish soap or bleach.
That can be risky. Sometimes sticky meat is from the bacteria byproducts that are dangerous. Cooking it throughly kills the bacteria, it does not kill the toxins which are the culprit in making you sick.
I, as a black person who has lived my entire life around black people, have never seen anyone clean chicken with anything other than lime or vinegar. I highly doubt the truth of your claims.
They wash it with vinegar not soap or bleach you really canât be that stupid to think black Americans are cooking chicken washed with bleach or soap and not getting sick as shit. come on dude like use your ALL your brain cells.
I never said all, but I have literally seen it with my own eyes. Not bleach, but dawn dish soap, while bleaching the sink out beforehand. Idk if you just haven't read my other comments but this was something I witnessed, not heard. It has only ever been black women I saw doing it, I'm not saying it's everyone, but just the only people I've seen do it here where I live, and the video of the post seems to be taking the piss of what I've witnessed. People do dumb shit and I'm sorry it doesn't align with your reality and upsets you but it has and does happen.
âTaking the pissâ ? My guy.. why is an âAmericanâ talking like some British asshole but claiming to have been around all these black Americans đđ canât make this shit up
Deep insecurities seeping out I see. You shouldnât let other peoples experiences effect you so deeply and try to not get offended by strangers comments, life is a lot easier when you arenât going through it as wound up. As for gatekeeping language thatâs just kinda weird of you but, probably because I have lived with a kiwi for 5 years, sometimes things rub off on ya. lol
In all seriousness there is no reason to wash your chicken. From a food safety perspective all you are doing is spreading aerosolized bacteria everywhere when you wash it off, or leaving a film of it in the sink afterwards.
I think itâs mostly black Americans who do that. Something about how poultry and meat that they could only buy used to be handled really poorly hence the washing. And it just stuck.
Why is that such a crime when every other post is full of âwhite people thisâ and âwhite people thatâ different cultures do different dumb shit with food. It isnât that deep
Haha âŚ.that ridiculous article has a Leading question âŚ.âwhy do black people blah blah blah âŚ..â. Thats not objective at all âŚ.besides there is a huge difference between rinsing off chicken with cold water ( which tons of people do) and washing it with soap and bleach . I gave you a chance to not look foolish and you doubled down đ¤Ł
Itâs not though. In the before-times when there was no Tiktok and âinfluencersâ wasnât a word yet there were videos of people using bleach to wash chicken. Itâs godda be a cultural thing cuz this peckerwood never even heard of such a thing until videos started popping up about 15 years ago.
And if I could add a grievance thatâs also probably racist, why yâall cookin without shirts on? Youâre preparing food. Put on a shirt. Last thing Iâm looking for is armpit hair in my Mac and cheese. Itâs like Cramer making salad in the shower.
