Avoid sink splatter when washing raw-chicken tools and boards
Be mindful that rinsing/washing raw-chicken boards and knives in the sink can splash contaminated water onto nearby surfaces.
The video warns that bringing a raw-chicken cutting board or knife to the sink and turning on water can cause splatter around the sink area. Treat the sink surroundings as potentially contaminated during that wash step and plan your workflow accordingly.
The short version
- Sink washing can spread contamination via splatter
- Consider what’s around your sink when cleaning raw-poultry tools
What goes wrong
Washing raw-chicken tools in the sink without considering splash onto surrounding surfaces
Assume nearby areas may get splashed and keep items away / clean the area after
Why it works
Water impact creates droplets that can spread contamination to counters and nearby items even if you can’t see it.
