Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Is normal soap all I need?

Recently I read rinsing the chicken usually spreads more the bacteria we're trying to kill by cooking it, and I've been doing this in the sink.

So I'm wondering if even without rinsing the chicken the knives, cutting boards, even just my hands touching the raw chicken could be also spreading bacteria after washing them with only soap.

U don't need to wash chicken Water and soap is fine for contact surfaces. I try to avoid porous surfaces for cutting on, I usually use a plate

To clarify, OP isn't asking about washing the chicken itself (and in fact it's a bad idea to wash raw chicken, don't ever do that OP).

But yeah my two pence on the question, for cleaning surfaces etc after raw chicken was on them, normal dish soap and water is fine, and as stated above, use a non porous chopping board.

Chopping boards are colour coded in kitchens, and you can easily find the appropriately colour coded boards on sale on Amazon, I use them in my home. Raw poultry is prepared on the RED board. This helps avoid cross contamination at all times.

If you're ever unsure about how successful your cleaning job has been, just use some kitchen surface disinfectant spray, and wipe it off with a damp cloth.

Always wash your hands after handling chicken before handling something else. Yes, this will mean washing your hands multiple times whilst preparing food. Just gotta consider the order in which you plan things out and it's not a big deal :-)

Weird. When I worked in a kitchen we used yellow for poultry and red for beef

I wonder if technically, you're opinion would worth more than someone who only put in their 2 cents.
