I remember watching some TV chefs handle raw meat, give their hands a quick wipe with a towel on their waist, and then handle all sorts of other things. It works on a show because it’s all just for the camera but if it’s for human consumption, you’d just be turning every handle and knob you touch into a possible source of contamination.
Mis-handling ingredients that will be ‘cooked anyways’, and therefore should be handled with unwashed hands, knives, etc.
I do that, but have in no way got that from videos. Just from standard fecklessness.
Do “pros” really do shit like that?
