Great discussion.
All of my cooking is done at home so I have the convenience of preparing everything in my kitchen, right next to the sink. I don’t use gloves, but once I get going, I leave the sink running and am constantly washing my hands before I touch anything. Leaving it running means that I am not even touching the faucet before I have cleaned my hands. Oh yeah, and lots of paper towels, not the kitchen towel. Containers that I would normally use like spices, etc., I pour into disposable cups (somtimes mixing bowls) before I get going, so I have everything in front of me, and can even I grab the cup with dirty hands, it doesn’t matter because it’s going right into the garbage anyway. The one great thing about constantly washing before and after touching food, is that you do seem to stay a lot healthier. Staying away from the germs that kids bring home from school doesn’t hurt either. Interestingly enough there has been a recent outbreak of Hepatitis A (I think it’s A) attributable to food contamination, and when the news station was asking local people if they were doing anything different now, a college student (yes, a college student!) responded “Yeah, like, I am washing my hands every day now.” Every day? Imagine that! You can’t make this stuff up! So there definitely is a need for education in this area, and obviously our schools aren’t filling it!

I work in a hospital, so the rubber gloves are an easy to obtain commodity. I go through a lot of them during the wash and prep phase, and I love them dearly. All that hand washing is for the birds. I will now also start putting them around my rub bottles as well...good idea my brother.

My Wife bought these a couple of weeks ago. I can't stand them! Hard to hold onto anything with them. And besides, they don't fit anywhere in the kitchen. They keep getting moved, and the next thing you know they are in my way again! |

Interesting read and tidbits! I wear gloves when catering and I need to do a better job handling my rubs, I use the put it in a seperate container and discard the remaining rub technique. Therefore, I am going to try and cover my rubs as well. For removing hot meat from my smoker, I use a rivetless peel (apparatus used to remove pizzas from hot oven).

I wear gloves when prepping. I got a pair of silicone mits. Don't like them either. I use Bear Claws to move meat off smoker.

We use gloves as soon as we arrive at at comp. We like surgical gloves. They may be a couple of bucks more but we feel safer. Everyone thinks that we use the gloves for their safety. They never realize we are using the gloves for our own safety. The gloves are used whenever handling any raw meat. I know people will say not to worry about beef but we change gloves when working with each comp meat. I don't want the pork or poultry contaminating my brisket. It may sound whacky and more expensive but we are comfortable doing it this way.

i think it makes things faster too. None of that washing stuff. Gloves on, gloves off, anti-septic wipes, neo-bio-dry, talcum powder for freshness and bam I'm done.
seriously though, I go through about 20 pairs a contest. I've gotten to the point where I wear thrm during my normal job (hvac) to keep contaniments off my fingers and so I can have clean hands at the end of the day.

I really like the point of "Guests" seeing you prepare done meat with gloves. If it is someone you know and they eat your grub all the time, they probably know how clean you are and it doesn't matter. But when you have new folks that may not know your process and see you ripping into a chunk of meat with out gloves, it may turn them off a bit. Never though of putting the the glove on the rub. I will use that.

Do you use rubber gloves? I use them everytime I handle meat.
When do you use them? I use them everytime when I rub meat. When do you change them? Everytime I rub some different meat. What are your thoughts in general on rubber gloves? Its good to have on your protection when handling your meat.

I started using gloves when I began competing, and now I use them all the time, even at home. I use Akers food service synthetic, powder free gloves, six bucks at the local restaurant supply. I even keep a separate box in my home kitchen. Pretty much all the same reasons as posted by others, more sanitary, easy clean up. Keeps hands from getting all smelly too.

I use the nitrile type gloves for all food prep. Keeps the rub from irritating the skin. I use the purple ones!
I also use a combination of two gloves when turning the meat on the smoker. I put on a pair of cotton gloves and then put on a pair of #10 "canners" gloves. I get them from our safety supply store at work. Canners gloves are a very very thick latex glove used in the commercial food prep industry. With the cotton gloves on under them you can turn 30 butts and never get burned. Slip them off and use when you need to turn again.

Thread revival got me until I reached KC's post. Damnit I miss him.
I use gloves for everything prepping, cooking, carving, etc. A lot easier than washing your hands 400 times. Looks good to the guests as well. They think you're just doing it for their safety.
