The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) certainly had some cooks steaming over their tweet last week that advised consumers to stop washing raw chicken before cooking it. The April 26 tweet received nearly 1,000 comments and 1,600 retweets, with many weighing in over whether or not to follow the health agency’s advice.

“We didn’t mean to get you all hot about not washing your chicken!” the agency tweeted on April 29. “But it’s true: kill germs by cooking chicken thoroughly, not washing it. You shouldn’t wash any poultry, meat, or eggs before cooking. They can spread germs around your kitchen. Don’t wing food safety!”

Does anyone under the age of 60 still wash their meat?

Also, does ANYONE actually wash eggs???

Or...

You could wash, them thoroughly cook, and then clean the fricking surfaces in your kitchen.

But, if you believe the CDC, what’s the point? Unless you drop the chicken in the mud or something and don’t want mud flavored chicken

If you prefer to rinse your poultry and meat before cooking just be sure to disinfect all preparation and general kitchen surfaces appropriately and avoid any cross contamination concerns. Problem solved. People have been rinsing poultry for generations whether necessary or not. I would like to hear statistics around how much real harm it has actually caused in the grand scheme of things.

This reminds me of a video of Kiefer Sutherland cooking someone posted here a couple of months ago.
The guy fricked up simple chicken handling and was spreading that shite everywhere

I wish it were “GDCK vs Twitter”.

The masses are asses.

I should know, I’m one of us.

I always wash my meat before cooking. Maybe it's not needed, but quite honestly Im far too used to it to change now.

CDC. I've always thought washing chicken was fricking asinine.

My ex's family refused to eat a dinner I cooked because one of them saw me not wash the chicken. That was the first time I'd heard of this dumbassery.

Plus if you're going to brown the chicken you've just created a shitload of work and waste for yourself trying to get it dry again.

I better run it under some cold water before I throw it on a 700 degree grill.

Sad that the CDC is retweeting the mommy bloggers.

No one washes chicken to “get the germs off” but for those of us that are getting ours from the piggly wiggly where it’s been sitting in a pile of slime for a few days below the “manager’s special”, it’s getting a rinse.

I believe that washing chicken comes from old timers. My grandparents talk about after they plucked the yard birds they wash them whole with a very light soap water. The reason is that the skin has a natural oil/grease that tastes like the chicken yard.

They have a story of being at church with my great-grandfather on potluck day. He was an old man who didn't GAF and when he bit into someone's chicken that apparently wasn't washed he loudly let everyone in the room know " ahhh!, this chicken wasn't washed!".

Hunters and people who butcher their own meat for one reason or another will wash or at least rinse off the meat but otherwise no one I know does unless there is something suspect on the surface.

People who grew up on or live on farms where they harvest their own eggs do it and sometimes that spills over when they no longer are on the farm.

Who the hell washes off chicken? If it’s bad enough that you need to wash it don’t eat it
