Pre packaged minced meat

[auntieM]

Agree with 25hourmaid, the minced meat should be 'cleaned' liao.. ...

My mum always buy those whole piece lean meat then mince at home ourselves..

I wash everything that I’m going to cook and cook with.

For meat, I’m mainly concerned about the butcher’s chopper/knife, chopping block, grinder and water (as we are talking about mince here).
I know that you cannot kill any germs and bacteria especially salmonella simply by washing. Only cooking and heat can. But I’m washing off the blood and dirt I cannot see.

I’m grossed out when I watch a cooking program and the host takes out the mince in a pack and proceeds to cook it without rinsing.

I wash everything as well. Even canned food and drinks. Before opening, i'll wash the top. abit fanatic, but habits die hard. Usually i put the minced meat in a fine sieve and run it under the tap before cooking,

Me too :oops:
I even rinse the ice in glasses for drinks at kopitiams and food courts.
I'm a cleanoholic.
But just as long as I don't inconvenience others.

I usually just rinse it over the tap when it's still frozen (if it's frozen, if fresh from wet market, the butcher would have already rinse it before mincing) Not that it'll clean the meat but by going through the motion, i'm psychologically convinced that i've cleaned it.
