Seeing how poorly my folks handle hygiene in kitchen, they are more likely to get infection by washing your chicken or straight up leaving uncovered leftovers for days... If I offered you irradiated steak or tartare, would you eat it?

> If I offered you irradiated steak or tartare, would you eat it? I'm not sure what radiation would practically do and whether eating something like that would be safe for me either way. As for the steak, if I was sure that it was quality meat, I might opt for medium well due to social pressure, otherwise leaning more on the side of well done, which some might view as a social affront. As for tartare, I wouldn't eat…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radura seems to have such a friendly icon, but would freak people up there too. Majority of people are still wary of microwaves, almost a century after it's invention...

As for raw food - can't acquire taste without trying! Raw salmon per se isn't impressive - so many people get it wrong and are not using the fatty salmon belly. I haven't tried tartare yet myself.

> It’s not recommended to use straight tap water here, only filtered, due to bacteria which is harmless to older children/adults but could be a problem for a newborn. I’m very currious about the filter you mention. How do you filter bacteria out in a household setting? How do you keep the filter itself clean and how do you QA your solution? I find it likely that any filtering done by average people is more likely to…

To be clear, it's not my recommendation but the NHS' - https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/weaning-and-feeding/drink... The filters are things like this https://www.tommeetippee.com/en-gb/product/perfect-prep-repl...

I read the linked NHS document multiple times and I can't see any reference to filtered water. They only talk about boiling the water. Where are you seeing that they recommend filtering?

I feel like this page should have a warning, the fantastic Youtuber Ann Reardon investigated lots of cooking "hacks" to see if they were food safe, and she worked out that cooking salmon in a dishwasher does not bring it up to a food safe temperature. [1] Side note - in a different video she also did debunking on other food hacks and ended up investigating Russian bot networks who uploads both food hacks for hits and…

I disagree with her conclusion. Raw salmon has no inherent pathogens of interest. People eat salmon raw at sushi bars. I’d be pretty unconcerned about the food safety issue. (Like any food there’s some risk of cross contamination, but that’s so rare.) As someone who has dealt with food safety (both as a hobbyist and professionally) a lot I can tell you most of what you read is based on government recommendations, whi…

I wouldn't be weary of microwaves per se, but rather their effectiveness in making food safer to eat.

Even if we think just about it heating the food up enough to be safe, I've found that it doesn't heat up evenly, especially in the center of a rotating microwave. I guess that's what you get with standing waves, but it makes me a bit concerned.

I did try looking up more information, but found nothing conclusive, sadly.

To heat up evenly - make a hole in the center of your food

But purpose of microwave heating it is not for sanitisation, it’s for taste
