Posted Thu 28 Jun 2012 03:01actually all chefs and food service employees in health care facilities are required to wear gloves...it takes maybe 5 seconds to change em...that's it..and i would expect chefs to use gloves because they are cooking for other people to were as at home i'm cooking for myself...some people jus dont like the idea of someone's elses bare hands touching there food washed or not...and there is nothing wrong with rinsing meats i have heard lots of people say they do it this includes butchers,chefs and even HEALTH DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES although you dont have to i completey understand why someone would..have any of taken food safety classes?bcuz i never knew so many people were offended by cautious food handling...
