Or is it the highest form of dialectical materialism? Surely an internet argument will settle the matter.
Most chicken isn't carrying salmonella. However, chicken is porous enough that any meat infected with salmonella is infected throughout. Therefore, washing doesn't do shit but remove the dirt if you dropped it on the floor. Further, you're gonna spray water that touched the chicken, and now your sink basin has salmonella. Your dirty dishes have salmonella. The faucet might, definitely will if you turn the water off after handling the chicken. The counter will have salmonella.
The solution? Don't eat chicken, :im-vegan:
You should wash your leafy greens though because dirt and e coli and what not. And random peoples' hands touching the food in the grocery store. And if you didn't bag up your produce and it touches the conveyor? :cringe:
Do people "wash chicken"?
Sounds like a way to contaminate the entire kitchen with salmonella water droplets
Sounds like my grandmother.
I obviously appreciate her sending some food my way, but holy shit the amount of food she sent me (both raw ingredients and meals) that straight up stank after I defrosted it, because it had been frozen for years or was bought on clearance and then frozen, is way too damn high.
If it was fully frozen meat leaving it out would probably be fine
A cursory Google search says not to do this. I will now stop. Especially since I'm not that great of a cook so maybe undercooking something isn't impossible
So long as you don't let it sit for long after it defrosted I guess, and it's still cold.
Otherwise it sounds like a recipe for food poisoning, letting the meat sit at room temperature.
Just leave it in the fridge the night before to defrost.
It's liberalism. Unless you got some dirt on it, then wash it off I guess, just be aware that you're probably spraying salmonella everywhere.

Don't eat meat yo it's bad

If you're going to eat it you should wash it. This is standard practice in most countries, Westerners are just used to cling-wrapped meat with the unearned presumption that it's clean.

i dont ever cook meat basically not beause im a moral actor or anything but because if you get it wrong you can die. im gonna stick with my beans and pasta thanks
I seriously don't understand what they think they're accomplishing.
The only meat I wash before cooking is corned beef, because otherwise it would be too salty
