Are you aware that there are certain mistakes we make the kitchen, while handling foods that could be dangerous to our health? There are common practices we have all gotten used to that are actually wrong and unhealthy when speaking from a medical perspective.
So for your own good, try as much as possible to do away with these mistakes to avoid developing health problems or having issues.
1. Washing raw meat before cooking
This may sound bizarre but it’s actually correct, if you wash raw meat before cooking, there will be higher risk or chances of passing some bacteria and infectious parasites from the meat to your sink, plates and utensils.
It is advisable to go straight to boiling your meat as boiling or steaming the meat first without any flavor can help get rid of all germs or bacteria as long as the meat is heated well.
2. Eating raw dough
Eating raw dough or batter that contains uncooked eggs may seem as a tasteful and nice habit but it’s actually a very serious mistake that could end up making you severely sick.
The reason is that, eating anything that contains uncooked eggs or flour may be infected with ecoli, salmonella which can cause some serious complications in the body if ingested. So for your own good, refrain from eating raw batter or dough no matter how tasteful you think it is.
3. Cutting fruits or vegetables before washing them
This is another unhealthy but very common habit that should be done away with. Some fruits and vegetables contain germs and harmful bacteria that could be transferred to the inside of the fruit, so washing it is not just necessary but compulsory
