Cooks and homemakers often make mistakes with food before cooking it. Let's consider what can happen and why these actions should be avoided.
Washing Raw Meat
This procedure makes no sense. During subsequent cooking, all pathogenic microbes are killed.
However, washing can promote the spread of bacteria in the kitchen work area.
The same applies to raw chicken, turkey, and meat in general.
Washing Chicken Eggs
If eggs are washed before being placed in the refrigerator, they can spoil quickly.
Additionally, this can lead to the transfer of pathogenic bacteria (most often salmonella). It is found on the outer shell, but after washing, it can enter the inside, breaking the natural barrier.
As a result, bacteria can end up in the human body, which can have serious consequences.
Fish
Fish, like meat, should not be washed before cooking, except when it is necessary to clean the abdominal cavity after gutting.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms are sensitive to moisture and actively absorb it, which affects their taste. Therefore, it is sufficient to simply clean them of minor dirt before processing.
