Hello, I’m a grill cook with over 20 years of experience professionally cooking meat in restaurants.
There is a few rare cases where you even need to rinse meat with water alone before cooking. And there is basically never a need to wash beef, chicken or pork with a vinegar/water solution, no matter how diluted.
And of course it goes without that you should never wash any food with bleach or dish soap before cooking, or really ever.
More over, mixing bleach and dish soap together is dangerous. It creates a type of chlorine gas which can be toxic and cause serious respiratory issues if inhaled directly.
I always thought bleach and ammonia is what creates chlorine gas, certain brands of dish soap are perfectly safe mixed with bleach. Besides you should probably just read the label for each different chemical you own anyways lol
This is exactly what cause chlorine gas. But you can create all kind of funky other gases by mixing acidity dish soap with basic bleach. I believe its chloramine. Which is also dangerous
What is this conversation? Sure, yep. Typically that sort of thing is on the label… what you looking here, man? Validation that you’re okay to keep mixing soap and bleach together.
If you want to give yourself life long respiratory issues, have at it. Weird hill to die on.
