Some people believe that meat must be washed before cooking to remove any bacteria that may have accumulated on the product.
Other housewives are sure that such a procedure is unnecessary.
But who is right?
Experienced cooks claim that meat really does not need to be washed.
It turns out that such a procedure can only cause harm.
The fact is that when interacting with running water, bacteria do not leave the product completely, and some of them settle along with drops on the sink or even get on other products that are nearby.
In addition, contact with hot water can disrupt the molecular composition of the meat.
As a result, a wet product will have difficulty browning in a frying pan.
It should also be taken into account that the meat is not washed even before freezing.
Cold destroys most microorganisms, while the rest are killed by heat treatment.
