Spoon Rests! What A Totally Superflous Kitchen Item!

[icyfroth]

I often see them in the op shops and think pffft, what a useless item. As if you couldn't use a saucer or whatever you have at hand while you're cooking. Making bolognese tonight I just rested the spoon on the side of the can.

Why would you want to cook dirty food?

nup sorry LOL

never gonna convince me that being dirty in the kitchen is ok.

cooking properly

maybe research at what temperatures food born pathogens are killed, for how long they have to be kept at those temperatures to indeed kill them and then of course you have your spore forming pathogens, that aren't k8illed during the regular temperatures.

And no one will ever convionce me that vermin excretia is a good thing to cook your food in, even if cooking may kill some of their grooblies.

I mean mouse and rat pee and poop?

PUKE

That's just off

Why stop there?

Chuck a few cocroach legs in there too - good fibre, might even be some protein

cook with dirty food and you get a compromised and dirty end product.

*shudder*

Or you can now buy spoons/spatula's made out of rosewood (non scratch, eco friendly) with the little indent cutouts to rest on your saucepan or bowl.

They are actually really good, only cost about $5.00, last for ever, and I have one of each.

we studdied a case a couple of years ago where a kid got food poisoning.

The source?

Every afternoon he would buy a can of soda on the way home from school, drink it straight out of the can.

Turns out somewhere in the supply chain, rats and mice would crawl over the cans and pee and poo on them....

then the kid got sick from drinking from the cans....

abnd then there is the famous snail case..

I tell ya

blerk

nup, sorry I am not dirty and I don't cook dirty food

I must remember to wash the ecoli right off my chicken before I cook it next time 😄

I will have to shop again tomorrow for chicken for my stock.  The Coles I went to didn't have one single free range chicken that wasn't use by today.  Marked down of course but I don't cook almost off chicken.

we eat a lot of chicken in our household Joono, it's always handled with great care before it's cooked (no cross contamination possible) & all the bacteria is cooked right out of it lol

just to be sure perhaps you should have the chicken bathe before its processed...

oh and i cook my pasta in the microwave - no salt, no oil, water hot but not at a rolling boil at the start and it turns out perfect, never gluggy.

someone gave me some scented rose petal thingies that turn into soap in the bath

would those do the job, do you think?
