I notice just the opposite JanetM. On the Food Network, they are always so obvious about washing your hands after handling meat. Like what cook doesn't know that?! Kind of scary they have to mention that basic rule of cooking, but I'm glad they do. Just in case someone didn't get the memo that raw meat or unclean hands will contaminate anything uncooked. I think most of our mamas taught us how to have a clean and bacteria-free kitchen. It's not rocket science. Wash, wash, wash, and wash some more. Then spray some bleach on it!
