    I had a cook who would soften cream cheese by running in through the dishwasher.

    this is… so close to being smart… it’s a shame it’s stupid.

    His response probably “What? It’s sanitizer!”

    Honestly, it should be fine. The bags are sealed.

    To be fair those packages should be sanitized before being cooked. I’ve seen some nasty stuff in my years.

    So our chemical company rep (Ecolab) once said the sanitizer ia safe to drink. you’ll get super sick but you won’t die. So there’s that.

    Idk if he hated his job or if it’s true, I obviously didn’t treat it differently. But damn dude you had the contract, quit digging you already hit gold

    I worked at a rather well-known fried seafood place in the area. They thaw their halibut right in the sani sink. Just like this, in a partially full sink of still water, and without any covering. Just frozen raw fish hanging out in lukewarm water in the sani sink. Sometimes while dishes are being washed from prep.

    Chat is it safe to eat the veggies if they (several places i’ve previously worked) Rinse them in this instead of rinsing in WATER
    (Never my idea and fwiw I rinsed them with water and only water and raised my eyebrows at it when the MANAGERS did it)

    I had a chef that would do this too. “Just dump the frozen steaks in the dishwater, its vacuum packed so its fine!!!” He smoked while cooking too if there were no guests, among other health code violations, but he owned the joint so 🤷‍♂️

    “I don’t know if I should smack him or give him a raise. Can I do both?” —chef probably

    Man, this sub really makes me want to not eat out anymore sometimes

    I mean that’s honestly not a big deal if it’s sealed.

    I hope they also wash their chicken cutlets with Dawn.

    Hopefully you said something, I think you probably did. This reminds me of when I was a deli manager for Safeway (Vons). I had a new hire that got seriously injured and tried to blame it on me. She over topped the oil on the fries and guess what..used a wax covered soda cup to try to get the oil out. The wax melted, and she burned her hand/arm/ leg in the process.

    She said I told her to do that. Luckily all I said to H.R was ” You thought I was smart enough to run a 1.2M department, do you think I would tell this person to touch ANY hot oil when I run a department of kids under 18?” And yes, she was freshly 18 and her 1st job. And the sad thing too was I would have had her back of it being an accident of not knowing. But she lied and threw me under the bus.

    The moral to those in cooking is: the truth will set you free.

    Example: I made a mistake in my early 20s in a very fancy restaurant. I used the 8 piece cutting tool for a cheesecake instead of the 12 piece. I knew I messed up the bakers heavy schedule of making fancy desserts. I biked over to my local nice corner store before work and bought a very fancy local red wine for her.

    She laughed and gave me a hug because apparently the whole kitchen was putting on bets on who I would blame for my mistake. We are now good friends 15 years later.

    Perfic, you can defrost and sanitise it in one go

  21. The bags are sealed….. yes I know it’s a bit cooked but honestly what’s going to come from this?
