This is so gross, and paper towels get stuck to the chicken as it gets soggy. I told her I'm reporting her to reddit and the police. I need to know how the world feels

She’s also using a steak knife and holding it incorrectly

What’s her logic?? This is insane to me but I want to give her a chance. I guess I hate cleaning raw chicken off cutting boards too???

Sounds like your wife cooks you food and you complain.
SpicyWokHei
Tell me it’s a steak knife too. Let’s put her away for a long time.

Is that a CUTTING BOARD IN FRAME!?

She’s just trying to up your fiber intake

Per Alton Brown’s recommendation (also USDA), I got a separate cutting board and wrote “POULTRY” in sharpie on it so it is only used for that. I usually dry the chicken with paper towels before cutting, too.

Buy her a nice chopping board.

Sometimes I use paper towels to dry raw chicken before an egg coating. Am I wrong? Please let me know as I’m always willing to learn.
warp_wizard
yeah that’s stupid and gross

This is maniacal. You should have her committed. She’s a danger to herself and others.

Assuming the goal is no cleanup, can she compromise on a paper plate?

I feel like you should post this in r/KitchenConfidential and just cite the replies to her

No can be a complete sentence

You married her before you watched her cook? Bro.

What are your contributions to dinner? As long as the counter gets cleaned afterwards, I’d just shut up and eat the dinner I didn’t have to make.

Ask her if that’s how her family did it when she was growing up. I used to let paper towels dry in the bottom of my kitchen sink so they’d be less wet going into the trash can until a friend told me it was “nasty.” I’d always seen my mother do it growing up so to me it was a normal behavior.

you can get salma hayek that way

who gaf? as long everything is being cleaned and sanitized, I dont see a legit issue. People literally cut poultry on there bare ass counter. Its called a paper towel (fresh/clean) and a Clorox wipe. It’ll be fine.

Get her a glass or metal cutting board. I know the uneasiness of cutting raw meat on wood cutting boards (and I have cleaning them, I have few because you pretty much have to clean them soon after use), and unfortunately plastic cutting boards have so many pockets for more contamination and leech tons of microplastics. I bought glass for this and it’s so much easier to throw in the dishwasher or clean by hand. I want to try metal or those expensive “wood” ones that you can throw in the dishwasher.

Unless I have a lot of meat and vegetables to cut I’ll use a paper plate. One less thing to wash while cooking.

Only upside is you usually want your chicken dry when it hits the pan so it browns instead of steams. So itll kinda dry it as she goes.

I use a plate to cut any sort of raw meat then put it a sink with hot water and dish soap
and I’ll use paper towel to soak up most of the liquid and put that in a kitchen compost bin.

No micro plastics tho

Just use scissors. Lol. Then she doesn’t have to cut anything on a surface
HelloKinny
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Part of me sees the logic in this. While ideally, you should cut protein on a plastic cutting board, plastic cutting boards may not get totally clean after use and you will likely have to toss them out after a while as they are so cut up. Assuming that even if you are using a plastic cutting boards, you will also have to wash all surfaces after doing food prep, it might make sense to cut on a surface that is disposable.

Buy her a pair of kitchen scissors and she’ll be able to stop using the knife. No more slices of paper towel in your food.
