do you was the meat?

I actually wash my hands a lot more than I do the meat. A lot of the meat that I eat is halal meat (arabic...) which means that the blood has already be drained from it so there is no need to wash it to remove the blood. But making sure that hands are clean from exposure to raw meat is very VERY important. Great question Thanks Zelo

If it doo wash the blod away only once as I do it good the first time!

my wife wash anything she will cook thorougly. she wash the fish more often than the pork or chicken. as you know the fish here in the philippines you just clean it as you buy. my wife buys it as it is then she will clean it herself when we reach home. so my observation is before sooking she wash everything very well just cant remember how many times.

i feel so embarressed as i do not respond to your discussions as much you do ,sorry for that as log as the washing of meat is concerned well i havet eve tried it ,i am 17 and studying but as much as i know my mother washes it 4-5 times with vinegar so that all the blood goes off .

Hello bombshell, you are doing the right thing.Not only meat all cooking items should be washed for several times.This should be done for health reason.

yes i do wash it before i move out from the fridge and then wash it again after i cut the meat..have a nice day!

My mother or wife usually prepare meat and they wash it two three times with water before cooking.

here,we buy fresh chicken,not the one sstored in packets and i do wash it umpteen times(am a cleanliness freak).my hubby usually brings frozen chicken because of this habit of mine.

[i]Hi bomb, I will wash it many many time, I don't care if they will say I am letting go the protein on it...LOL! I hate to see blood too, my hubby don't care, he will tell me it is very clean already! LOL![/i]

no, only liver that I cook for my client

I don't cook and I'm a boy. So all meal in my house is been cooked by my mom. As I see when my mom wash the meat, she usually wash it twice and also with the vegetable. I think wash the meat twice is enough to clean the meat and after it cooked, I think the blood and dirt will vanish. It's only my opinion because I never cook a meat. Keep post happy myLotting...

Same here my Beautiful friend. My hubby always asks me why i need to wash them many times as it's already been cleaned and washed. Specially the beef oh i hate the smell lolz. Happy posting.

I don't wash meat before cooking it and so far have not had any problems however I am very careful in the cuts of meat i buy and I never eat chicken skin either .. :)

oh so u again ,wow wht a gr8 coincident we r having .and hmm abt u r question . actually i don't cook food ,but my mom does that ,and ya she cleans it many times before she cooks that. and i too like to eat cleaned and washed meat. meat rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No I don't was the meat before cooking. if it has any germs or bacteria it will be killed if cooked well. So you dont have to worry to wash your meat before hand. It is useless in my opinion.

I usually let the blood cook away. I do wash it when the meat is half frozen and I want to make sure it cooks faster. I do not like blood in meat either, but I thought that no matter how much I washed it, not all the blood would disappear. I really hate going and scooping it out of the frying pan and putting it in the sink. Maybe I should do that the next time.

Hi bombshell, I always wash meat veg etc anytime I am cooking it..all I do with meat though is run it under cold water for a few mins to get the blood etc off..hugs littleowl

I always wash the meat at least once no matter what even meat that I bought from a grocery store that is nicely wrapped. I know that people told me that if washing the meat, you also wash away its sweetness but just think about the way it is wrapped and the people who handles the wrapping/cutting process, washing it once would be an ideal.

yes i wash the meat before cooking it. i wash it 2-3 times specially if it comes right out from the fridge, which means its still icey and i need it to put it first in the water to eliminate the ice forming on the meat. i like it washed too rather than not to wash it. thanks friend.
