My mom is a run-under-the-faucet chicken washer and got campylobacter after preparing chicken at home. (Campylobacter is also a bacteria spread by raw chicken, similar to salmonella.) She had to go to the ER and almost was admitted to the hospital. She got so sick she has been turned off of eating chicken for years. It's so hard to be sanitary when you are touching the whole chicken with both hands, touching the faucet, spraying water everywhere, etc. Just don't do it. If you simply must rinse it, do it with the bowl like they said.

“Hot water. Always sanitise your sink” Unless you’re using a kettle, you’re not sanitising it with “hot” water. If you can stand to have your hand in there then what you have is water at the ideal temperature for bacteria to thrive. Even if you do manage to have water above 60°C coming out of the tap, it’s going to cool the moment it hits your sink. The cleaning and sanitisation is done by your detergent. Hot water is there to cut through grease

Just because Josh stated that he wasn't sure I wanted to chime in. The USDA will recommend a temperature of 165 to kill salmonella bacteria. That being said, household disinfectants will kill salmonella bacteria with the asterisk that you need to follow certain contact times. Contact time is defined as the amount of time that you allow a chemical compound to be in contact with the surface that you're cleaning before you wipe or rinse it off. For salmonella a lot of stronger disinfectants will do the job with a contact time of 1 to 5 minutes. So yes, you can disinfect your cooking surface and make it safe from salmonella.

The soap, in lay-man's terms, both ruptures germ cell's walls and also creates little packages of hydrophobic lipid-based bubbles called "Micelles" that are more easily removed from lipophilic surfaces!

Nicole dropping her phone and not being able to pick it up because her pants are too tight is just so real and relatable. Yet again, a very informative podcast. Learned a few things, especially after cooking chicken today! And some cleaning tips :)

27:35 I have a dishwasher so whenever I use spoons or spatulas on raw eggs or meat I put them in the dishwasher and get a fresh one. The dishwasher washes six spoons as easily as one.
