washing raw meat?
Along the lines of competition sanitation, what are your thoughts and or rules / suggestions on washing /rinsing your meat when it comes out of the package before begining prep work?

I always rinse meat off in cold water prior to doing any work...just to get the slime off.

Personally, I use Dawn! The lemon citris flavor adds something.
P.S. I'm kidding of course. I sometimes will rinse though.

I understand that you dont have to rinse the meat because cooking kills whatever lies on the surface but it makes me feel better about it.

The long cooking process though probably handles any sanitation concern. |

I keep a spray bottle with one cup apple cider vinegar and 3 cups water.
I spray all my meat down well and then rinse with cold water and dry with paper towels prior to prepping. If you try it once you will most likely make it a habit. Eliminates any odor and kills any surface bacteria. Eliminates the slime from the meat and makes it much easier to handle. |

I always rinse with cold water, and some times again with white vinegar.

We always wash the blood and goo of of everything. Being we age briskets they sometimes look kinda funky and you have to do it.

A lot of the babybacks that I have purchased recently from Sams have a lot of bone and slime on them and I rinse them. I have never rinsed anything else, but now I will try the apple vinegar w/water, thanks.
