Um, heat is not a solvent, it's an accelerator.

I like my vegetables washed. I cringe when I see tv chefs just wiping
off mushrooms, give them a quick rinse, dammit. Personally, with any
luck, I like to think any pesticides used on other vegetables will
rinse off, too. Ditto for any little critters living in the leaves.

If I intend to use the skin on a fruit or vegetable, I use one of the
washing products available in the produce section of most supermarkets.
Otherwise, I just rinse and dry.

Leafy vegatables and broccoli I soak for a few minutes in tepid salted
water. It usually drives the critters out.

Water is the solvent.

What a ****ing genius.

Heat is the sterilizer

Grit needs no sterilizing, it needs removal... and you are a moron.

One hopes the veggies the TV chefs use were pre-washed by a member of the
staff. Ever turned over a cabbage leave after peering at a suspicious hole
only to find some sort of worm/larvae burrowed its way inside?

What about the grit in leeks and sometimes fresh spinach? Gotta wash those
suckers off!

Oh, just dissolve that grit with a blowtorch.

Rachel Ray (no, I am NOT picking on her) is convinced that heads of
romaine are washed. Hello, how would they do that, how would they
get the water/whatever down to the roots. She also just wiped
celery stalks, come on, just rinse it off, take you two seconds.

I'm fine with the double/triple washed loose leaf stuff.

Hell, I even wash off pre-cut "baby" carrots before giving them to my
lovebird... and they are the insides of the carrot!

Each evening I go out to my garden with a five gallon contractors bucket filled
with cold water. I toss my harvest into the bucket and swish it around to wash
out the bulk of the sand. I toss that water out on the ground (don't want to
put all that sand into my septic. When I get the veggies into the house I soak
them in a sinkful of cold water to remove the remainder of the sand. Romain
lettuce accumulates a lot of sand near the root end but by swishing in water
most all of it is washed out. I think leafy veggies can be washed through ten
changes of water and still more sand will come out... I don't think eating a
few bits of grit does any harm, we eat a bushel of dirt in a lifetime.
And the salt in the salad dressing takes care of those few baby slugs that
escape inspection... anyway, live critters signify a good crop and no
pestasides.
