Sounds like you maybe learned about food preparation in a factory setting, which is different than in a kitchen setting.
Per USDA and CDC guidelines, you shouldn’t wash poultry before cooking because you’re more likely to spread any contamination, you’re unlikely to remove contamination that’s present since it’s not like it just lives on top of the tissue, and it’s already been washed during processing.
Obviously if you’re the party doing the actual processing for distribution then things are different since you need to remove potential traces of feces, dirt or other surface contamination.
The FDA doesn’t recommend it, and I am more inclined to trust them instead of a single professor.
If you really do it in a different room there should be not be any contamination, but in my opinion it is bad practice anyway. It’s much safer just to cook the chicken to the right temperature. But maybe you can point us in the right direction if this should be handled differently in bigger kitchens, like you said.
I dunno who taught you that, or what dipshit was running a school that allowed it, but the bare fact that it is not only unnecessary, but potentially dangerous, has been known for decades.
Hang on. You’re telling me, all kindergartens in your area have a separate room, just for washing chicken? Like"Here’s where the kids keep their bags, here’s the toilets, this is the chicken washing room, and over there we keep the crafts."
everybody else is talking about home cooking, and that it’s not recommended to wash chicken from a supermarket at home. probably in whatever context you have these multiple compartments recommendations are different
I’ll call bullshit on that unless you’re using the wrong words to describe these rooms. I know the field from a cook perspective and no kindergarten has multiple rooms for cooking and meal prep. You’re thinking about the setup in a factory that does food transformation. Transformation and preparation are two completely different things.
Lots of people really do.
Losing taste is one thing, but it can actually be dangerous by spreading salmonella&friends.

You’ll have to be more specific about what “this field” is. Restaurant sanitation? Food safety? Chicken washing? Microbiology?
Whatever your degree, it’s not the recommended practice.

You render meat safe to eat by killing the bacteria with fire, commonly called “cooking it”.

Maybe your should edit your previous messages to mention that it doesn’t apply to a kitchen environment so you don’t spread disinformation.

You were taught wrong. You don’t wash chicken. It only spreads germs.

I mean, the more you handle it, the higher the chance of contamination, so if you just chuck it in the pan…

That is the correct position to hold.

Oh dang, I’ll have to move to a bigger house. My current home is lacking a chicken washing room.
personally I just use the bull de-horning room for this purpose
Dang, and here I am with a converted mirrorball and beehive emporium like a fool.

Having worked in restaurants for years and been to multiple health and safety classes in multiple states, I call bullshit.
Washing chicken spreads bacteria all over everything wherever it’s done: the walls, floor, ceiling. Do you sanitize the ceiling after you do this?
