How sloppy/disgusting are you when you cook?

I only cook for myself, so my kitchen etiquette is pretty awful. I barely wash my hands before handling food, re-use unwashed knives and containers. I don't even remember the last time I've properly washed my cutting board. Strangely enough, I've never gotten sick from anything I've made and eaten.

I have shit kitchen hygiene. I'm better if I'm cooking for others (I'll wash my hands between raw meat and something else, and not cook food that fell on the floor).

I've never gotten sick. If I do, I'm glad to blame myself. But seriously, I'm touching raw chicken and then my face and the floor and shit and it just doesn't matter. I figure if there is some contaminant that isn't destroyed by the cooking processes, there probably isn't much I could do to reduce it's probability of making me ill. I've only got a biology bachelor's though, maybe they instill fear in real school.

Look, I can understand not cleaning your stove right after you've made a meal. It's all hot and shit and you don't want to hurt yourself and then later you are too tired/distracted to do it so you put it off.

I can understand leaving dishes for a night (JUST for a night).

But not washing your hands? Using dirty knives and containers? Not washing your cutting board?

You are a disgusting slob and I hope you die of some contamination or other.

I honestly cook as if a health inspector is watching my every move. I clean everything as I go, I keep a sink full of bleach water for anything that comes in contact with raw meat, I wash my hands constantly etc.

It's just habit for me, I used to cook for a living

I told my roommate how to make chicken parmesan and watched him start preparing it. I had to take over for him because he was getting chicken juice on every cabinet handle and every ingredient in the pantry. It terrified me to watch him cook.

I'm exceptionally clean while cooking, but I'm a messy cook. I cook in my own kitchen like I'm still in a restaurant kitchen, which leads to some messiness that most home cooks would be horrified by. But, I clean as I go and am a total hardass about keeping things sanitary. I just always have scraps and peelings and crap I have to sweep up or scrub down afterwards. I wish my home kitchen had a fucking drain in the floor and a separate wash station (in my dreams).

>> No.5357561

I keep everything super clean. I'm a neat and organised person by nature, but mostly I just like to keep bench and sink space clear so that I can put pots down and move things around if I need to. Besides, cleaning up as I go makes cleaning up at the end a lot more efficient.

>> No.5357611

I'm pretty clean. I always wash my board, knife etc... between meats and veggies and stuff. If something falls on the floor I put it under the tap and in the pot but if I'm cooking for someone else I'll bin it.

The bad habit I have is to taste a lot using the same spoon without cleaning between tastings. I also use my t-shirt as a kitchen towel.

>> No.5357695

I am pretty good at cleaning while cooking. generally if something is cooking, I'll use the free time to clean up the things that don't need to be used again. Luckily I don't have a porous cutting board so it's easily cleaned. I can sometimes be bad and cut vegetables and meat at the same time, but only if they're being cooked together. Oil tends to splatter on the stove and the backsplash, but I always clean them once the stove cools down. I leave dishes on the side of the sink a maximum of 16 ish hours, never a full day. I like having a clean kitchen.

Messy kitchen, messy mind. I clean, wipe down and organize/consolidate everything as I go along.

Even just giving everything a wipe down with a damp cloth soaked in disinfectant/degreasing solution every ten minutes or so greatly decreases the amount of cleaning you have to do at the end.

I'm anal about everything, from hygiene to the shape and size of the meat/veggies, everything needs to be symmetrical and proportional.

That's probably because you already had a good immune system/constitution, which allowed you to continue to be sloppy about hygiene.

People can be right autists about home hygiene standards and frankly a lot of the advice is overkill if you're not cooking for young children, the eldery or infirm.

I'm a bit like you but I am still careful about cross-contamination with raw meat and cooked when handling chicken and pork in particular.

>I don't even remember the last time I've properly washed my cutting board.
I usually just give it a quick brushdown under a running tap with the dish brush, then put it in the rack to dry.

One of the advantages of a wooden board is that you can get away with this as it's naturally anti-bacterial as long as it's not sealed too well. Mine is bare wood, with no coating of any kind for maximum effectiveness.

I keep utensils, plates, cookware, containers and that stuff clean. I rarely clean anything else like the stove.
If I drop something like a little piece of meat on the stove or floor I just rinse it a bit and cook it.

There's nothing bad about basic hygiene but jesus christ when you go overboard and clean everything with bleach
right after use and keep everything else superclean as well you are harming your immune system by not keeping
it active. It's worse for kids and they develop all kinds of allergies in retardedly clean environments as their immune
systems are absolute shit. Little shits can't even handle a bit of pollen every year or other micro particles.

Same, I don't really care unless it's visibly bad, smells bad et.c..
I've eaten for the same plate for several days in a row without washing it between. I've eaten meat from my fridge that was a month behind best before date. It was just grey but didn't smell bad and I didn't have any problems.

Live alone and cook for myself, so I'll lick, eat off of or directly out of, and reuse a majority of the things in my kitchen. Drinking straight out of an OJ container right now. However, my hand washing skills are impeccable and I'm very clean with my counters/surfaces and conscious of what I put things down on. I generally can't disease myself, but other things can still disease me.

Yet I am very aware of how I handle other people's food... but my laziness has slipped in more and more lately (I can reuse this tasting spoon, etc.). I try not to, but fuck, I hate doing dishes and only if they can't see. No floor food or grossness, though, just a little shared utensils, which is usually how it is when I go out to eat with friends and family anyways.

I'm probably fairly middle of the road. Things that hit the floor get rinsed and tossed back in the pan. Knives that only cut vegetables just get a quick rinse. Sometimes I just wipe out yesterdays pan with a paper towel instead of bothering to wash it. I'll occasionally reuse a cutting board without washing it, depending on what was cut on it.

On the flip side, I fastidiously wash my hands, wash all my produce, and am fairly careful about cross contamination.

I cook for myself most of the time (some times friends or rarely dates). I have little plastic cutting boards I put over my wood board when cutting meat, then I clean that off after I'm done. Veggies and everything else get cut on the wood board.

Cutting board proper gets cleaned once during summer and once during winter (and a handful of times between that because shit get's spilled on it).

Dishes get washed every couple days. Rinsed out when put in the sink first of course.

I'm good with cleanliness and find that when I wash hands, prep veg, prep meat, put the cutting board and knife into the sink then wash my hands and get cooking, well, there is little room for cross contamination.

But I use one spoon to taste even though I cook for two. And I don't have a problem rinsing/eating/cooking something that I've dropped on the floor. It's my house and know what's on my floor. It isn't anything that's gonna kill me or make me violently ill.

I also don't see a problem reheating something that's been left out over night. Willful waste makes woeful want, and all that.
