Do you wash all your food thoroughly before cooking? Then this article is for you.
Experts strongly recommend not to wash some foods.
Products that should not be washed
First, chicken. According to a study conducted by American scientists from the University of North Carolina, washing chicken meat before cooking increases the risk of intestinal infection.
The fact is that bacteria on the surface of raw chicken, when washed, end up on kitchen utensils, clean dishes and hands.
The only way to disinfect chicken is by heat treatment. So instead of washing it, it is better to drain the first broth.
For the same reason, it is not recommended to wash pork and other types of meat before cooking.
Also, you should not wash eggs before cooking. Washing damages the shell, and bacteria can penetrate into the egg.
