Do not wash raw meat before cooking
It is not recommended that you wash raw poultry, beef, veal, pork, lamb or seafood before cooking. Any bacteria that may be present on the surface of these foods will be destroyed by properly cooking the food. Washing these items will contaminate the sink, which can cause cross-contamination if not cleaned right away.
