#gloves are not inherently more hygenic than bare hands

I love reading comments on cooking videos because some people have really bizarre and unscientific ideas about food safety and hygiene

#gloves are not inherently more hygenic than bare hands #wearing gloves can actually be WORSE because people assume they're cleaner and don't change them in-between touching things #if you are washing your hands it's better #also the waste if you're using several pairs of disposable gloves every time you cook is unbelievable #why do people think you need to wash chicken specifically and no other meat?#cooking it kills bacteria #it's unnecessary and if you're rinsing it off in the sink you're actually just spraying the potential salmonella all over your kitchen #a lot of people seem hung up on weird hygiene theatre things #while ignoring actual cross contamination issues or food safety risks
