Many Vietnamese housewives have the habit of washing all types of ingredients before cooking, believing that this will help eliminate harmful agents to health.
In theory, this seems correct, but according to experts, there are some types of food that if washed will not only spread bacteria faster but also reduce the quality and flavor of the dish. They are…
1. Chicken meat
On raw chicken meat, there are many harmful bacteria to human health. Among them, the most dangerous is salmonella – according to Dr. Jennifer Quinlan (Rutgers University, USA). Washing chicken meat before cooking does not clean most of these bacteria because they adhere very tightly.
In addition, a small amount of other bacteria that are washed away under water can spread around the sink and kitchen, posing a hidden health hazard for the whole family.
The best way is to boil the chicken meat before cooking.
2. Beef, pork, lamb
Just like chicken meat, other meats such as beef, pork, lamb, and goat meat should not be washed with water because this action spreads harmful bacteria to the sink, kitchen, and your hands. You can kill bacteria by putting the meat in hot water.
Before cooking, you can use a cloth to remove water from the surface of the meat. Then wash your hands thoroughly with soap before starting to cook.
3. Mushrooms
Few people know that mushrooms absorb water very quickly and a lot, so if soaked and washed too long with water, they will lose their flavor and spoil quickly.
The best way is to quickly wash and dry them with a paper towel. You should only do this before cooking because mushrooms spoil quickly and lose their original delicious taste.
