Can I cook off the germs?

Question

I'm cooking some chicken breasts on the stove. I picked one up with a spatula to check the bottom of it, and dropped it on the floor. I checked for hair or anything on it. Can I continue cooking that side on the stove and kill off any germs? Is it fine to eat?

Answer

I'd be more concerned about making sure your floor is clean after dropping chicken

Answer

Not a problem. I’d personally rinse it wish water in the sink, season it again, and then finish cooking it. The germs do cook off basically. I would make sure though that you clean the floor with disinfectant after dropping under cooked meat on the floor. You don’t want that raw meat bacteria on your floor or anything...

Answer

It’s fine

Answer

Yeah rinse it real quick

Answer

In the time it took to post this you could have washed it 🤷🏻‍♀️
