Is it okay to be dirty/lax in your own kitchen? I mean, you're

Who's going to stop you?

Myself, if I get sick. I was asking more from a safety/sickly standpoint

Your immune system isn't going to get immune to salmonella or e coli. If you want to be a slob and brag that you didn't get sick, it's fine, but don't pretend it's anything better than luck. Most raw food is pretty clean anyway. It's the rare exceptions that make life interesting.

>Is it okay to be dirty/lax in your own kitchen?
I'm that way when I prepare food for others too

you have to understand that the standards imposed by the government are to eliminate any potential chance of liability.
but in truth your food isn't going to make you sick

Personal setting : k
Setting where you can get sued: no

diligence in cleaning for others, like you'd want for yourself. My old kitchen has us disinfect the place twice a day as a safety precaution. I'm sure other places with less strict rules were just as safe

if you're making cold dishes, fuck no
if you're making hot dishes who gives a shit

Well, do you ever actually CLEAN your kitchen, or do you just go at it every time without cleaning?

Besides dishes of course, I know dishes are a necessity.

As long as you don't do shit like washing your hands with alcohol every day I don't think it matters. Find a balance

If you cook animal products and also serve raw dishes you probably want to be pretty scrupulous. Cross contamination can make you sick.

If you''re vegan and/or eat only cooked food you can be a bit more slack without much in the way of repercussions.

Cleanliness keeps away the roaches.

Not that there's anything to fear from roaches, but their presence is pretty unsettling. Especially knowing that they could get into whatever's lying around.

I'll admit I sometimes handle raw chicken in my home before going to work and shaking hands with everyone in an attempt to spread salmonella. It's sort of like being an HIV gift giver except I'm not a fag nor HIV Positive. Okay, this was all bullshit. But I'm drunk and I want to fuck with OP's thread. BWHAHAHA

Honestly, I only ever wash my hands after I've handled raw meat or when I'm preparing for other people.

>living alone
fine, if you have no self respect
>living with anybody else
no, stop
>living with someone you hate
no, you passive-aggressive woman

Remember the golden rule: You don't want dirty people to touch things you're eating, you should think of others the same way. Something they might think is clean might be dirty but they'd be wrong because YOU fucked up.

My standards for hand washing are lower at work than at home, but they're still decent.
