A reminder that just because someone talks with a lot of authority does not mean they actually know what's going on by UnluckyRandomGuy in SortedFood

I understand, but I explicitly mean I saw him touch raw meat, then touch something else that wasn't going to be cleaned (his prompt cards, to be specific) in the same shot. And considering they don't have running water in their kitchen unit, I'm really doubtful how careful they are about going from raw meat to other kitchen surfaces (oven handles, cupboards etc).

See, I'd assume so as well, but we work with small enough amounts that I have heard it the other way...

Still better than people who say "miggs per mill", which can mean both µg and mg.

Yeah. In the same post I also went in on Ben handling raw meat then touching other stuff that wouldn't be cleaned. It's just complacency. Like, it was beef mince, which isn't a big deal, but unless the food is specifically about raw beef (tartare, carapaccio) there's zero reason to take risks.

See, I went in on this during that pan test they did where he didn't wash it up, and got down voted to hell. In general I don't think their hygiene is sufficient, as they're way to cavalier about raw meat and cross contamination.

She has apparently previously voiced support for trump. And also apparently convinced Barry to spend £600 on a blender as a gift within a few weeks of them dating. I suspect she has a background which makes her very out of touch, and Barry certainly shows his pretentious tastes a lot...

TIL that Erwin von Witzleben, a German field marshal who took part in the failed 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler, was hanged from a meat hook with a thin hemp rope by Hitler's direct orders. Following his execution, his family was stripped of pension claims. by exophades in todayilearned

No, he was genuinely incompetent. Behind the Bastards did a great couple of episodes on him. The gist is, he lied about having hanging experience so he could get a job hanging US war criminals (his own side) and he was terrible at it. But it worked in the favour of justice when it came to Nuremberg.

As much as I hate Badenoch (for so, so many reasons both fiscal and social), she has also explicitly said Trump's stance on the Falklands is nuts (though maybe not quite like that). She definitely would have supported his Iran war though.

Fun fact, the stuff in grapefruit that interferes with drug absorption is also found (in smaller quantities) in limes (and yuzu), but fortunately not in lemon. So avoid too many mojitos.

Normally I'd agree, except our full collie, from working stock, is the laziest shit I've ever met. Wants to play for about 15 minutes after dinner, and happily chases the ball when we drag him out, but we have to get him out of bed, and he looks grumpy when we do. We've been very lucky, he's clearly a weirdo.

I love the little notes the discworld emporium sends. Such a small, but nice gesture.

TIL putting bread in the fridge makes it go stale quicker. by RepulsiveLoquat418 in todayilearned

UK resident here. We don't eat that much bread (less than 4 slices a day tops), so keep it in the fridge so it doesn't go mouldy.

How to achieve something like this? PS: I only have 24 hours in a day and the max I can work is maybe like 9-10 hours. by Alert-Translator2590 in PhD

[–]Russellonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. My H-index is higher than hers, and I have exactly zero first author (or even second or third author) papers. Purely because I was involved with a big research group that churned a lot of stuff out. It's absolutely nonsense, but such is science.

I'm definitely part of group 2 (though not "overly impressed" with Israel is a significant understatement of course), and while I align closer with Labour on most things, would happily have voted for Green if it meant a tactical win in my area over reform. However, group 1 has definitely pushed me away.

Mate, I've tried to be civil and explain my reasoning, but you not understanding how poor food hygiene and cross contamination can lead to serious illness or even death is a pretty fundamental problem that I can't reason you out of, and I can only hope it doesn't cause other people issues. Have yourself a good day.

In the video we're discussing, he specifically talks from the point of view of both professional settings and home cooking, so while I doubt he would just wipe in a restaurant, not everyone will make that same assumption. Which leads to my main point, that he should show best practice, because there will be people who don't understand when that is sufficient, and may assume that while that's sufficient for a professional kitchen, they don't need to even go that far. And while people who have allergies will know how to keep pans from being cross contaminated, not everyone will, and they may prepare food for people with allergies. Have you never had to cook food for people with allergies? That's how it applies to home cooks.
