Do We Have To Wash Meat Before Cooking?

People believe that washing meat makes it safe and harmless to eat.

But according to experts, washing does not lead to anything other than the spread of bacteria throughout the kitchen, this is called cross-contamination and is extremely harmful to our health and the same goes for our close ones.

Most people, when washing the meat, think that this is the best thing to do when cooking, but in this case, the only thing that happens is that you're spreading bacteria all over the kitchen.

Therefore, washing meat is not necessary, because in the cooking process (whether the process is roasting, frying or boiling), the high temperature will kill the bacteria for sure.

Here are the steps I recommend you follow when cooking raw meat. This applies to all types of meat - chicken, pork, fish and others.

1. Wash all other products and kitchen appliances used in the preparation of the meat (knives, cutting board, but in no case the meat)

2. If you have decided to kill the germs in advance - turn the switch on and off with your hands and when placing the meat in the pan, limit the contact with your hands as much as possible. The killing of bacteria is done on a low but prolonged heat according to the temperature at which it is necessary and it is obligatory to use a kitchen thermometer.
