I don't have the slightest problem roasting a turkey that comes out
tasty and moist. All I do to the bird is wash it, put salt, pepper and
paprika on the skin, and pop it into the oven.

The United States Department of Agriculture advises against the practice
of rinsing poultry or meat before cooking it. It runs the risk of
spreading bacteria on your sink, countertop and utensils where it can be
further spread.

Cooking at the correct temperatures kills any harmful bacteria.



My mother rinsed poultry before cooking it, her mother rinsed poultry
before cooking it and I rinse poultry before cooking it. Period.

We're away of the possibility of spreading bacteria. That's why we scrub
down everything that came near the poultry while we prepared it for cooking.

Yeah, we were all taught to wash 'em. But it turns out it's not
really necessary and can actually be more risky.

I got food poisoning last year from a pre-cooked chicken dish that I
apparently didn't reheat hot enough. Worse 8 hours of my life, I
thought at the time. Thought I was going to upchuck all my internals
and then die.

There now. Go enjoy your chicken or turkey. :-)

Food truck, Little Havana section of Miami. I love the new food truck
movement, but this one certainly did something wrong. Fish tacos. I
never knew a human could puke so much *stuff* out, and like you, when it
was all gone, I thought I was going to puke my stomach right out of my
body!

It doesn't look like poultry ever came near that sink next to your
coffeemaker.
