I'm old fashioned about washing hands while cooking. I have a stainless steel insert that fills half the sink. I add a few drops of bleach to it when I fill it. Wash the sink with bleach then I wash my hands before and during cooking, about 25 times or more. If I add salt, wash hands, pepper, wash hands, gahhlick, wash hands. You get the picture. I spend a lot of time washing, but I feel safe. I have done this for almost 50 years so I think I'm safe. At least I'm still here to talk about it. I used to work in a hospital, so I'm anal about cleanliness. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
Hi Pam! 25 times in bleach water? for 50 years? Really?
I commend your conscientous nature but i have served many a meal (60+ years in the woods)
under very "casual"sanitary conditions, with no gloves and little hand washing..... Not so much as a bellyache.
I think we are a lot tougher than we think, except of course a minuscule % who are immuno compromised.
The most alarming sanitary procedures i have seen are in Dr's offices and hospitals.
Bless you for your efforts, but your cooking efforts must be tedious to say the least!
I rarely stop in here but apparently you are a regular.
Pleased to see you!
