Everyone in the comments like “well it’s a cultural thing tou wouldn’t understand :///” like YOU WERE THE ONES BITCHING ABOUT LOLLLLLLL

People wash raw chicken?? What the fuck.

I never heard about this before this round of discourse started and it’s so stupid

You’re supposed to wash and clean raw meat. This is such a gross argument.

Everyone including the CDC is telling you to stop

Don’t wash chicken

why would you wash chicken

it goes on heated metal. why the fuck would you wash it?

Goddamn people really don’t know shit fuck huh

Like just rinse it off under the tap or are y’all using soap?

These people are using soap.

I assumed by “washing” y’all meant “rinsing off” and I was like what’s the big deal in rinsing it I mean you do you BUT YALL ARE USING SOAP WHAT THE FUCK BITCH

Let the soon-to-be Darwin Award winners do their thing. While I’ve never hears of rinsing raw meat before cooking (draining a package that has fluid in it? Yes) but…soap? On FOOD. That goes IN YOUR MOUTH? *SIGH*

Unless you’re extremely diligent about sterilizing your kitchen spaces, rinsing raw meat is also not great. It doesn’t make the meat itself more dangerous or anything. It also doesn’t make the meat safer or cleaner.

What it does do, is give meat juices the chance to spread onto your sink, your utensils, your counters, your floor, or anywhere else. Including droplets of meat juice too small to easily see with the naked eye, or contaminated water splashing from the sink during the rinse.

So unless you’re actually following the instructions for sterilizing your counters, and running your dishes in a sterilizing cycle or under boiling water, rinsing raw meat is just an unnecessary risk for no gain.

Your best bet for meat that was packed with a lot of liquid, is to get some gloves (or use your hands, but I hate touching raw meat directly) and lift the meat from it’s package, directly to a meat-specific chopping board with a juice catching channel around the outside edges, like in this image:

The channel (or, on some boards, a ridge), ensure the meat juices don’t wander around where you don’t want them. Put the juicy package directly in your trash can, without exposing further surfaces or utensils to contamination.

From there, you can either pat the meat dry with a paper towel to improve searing/browning, or just prepare it for cooking as you normally would.

Rinsing your meat doesn’t make the meat dangerous. It’s just an added step that provides added risk. And it doesn’t make the end meal any better, since you still have to dry the meat before cooking it anyway, to get any decent browning.
