Honey, you are seriously wierd! I couldn't even get through one home meal
with that arrangement, let alone do any pro cooking-- I think it would be
illegal, anyway.

This sounds like using condoms on everything cookery-wise. As far as I go
is using surgical gloves for handling raw meat. Right off the top of my
head innumerable operations that wouldn't work come to mind, like rolling
pasta, rolling pastry, kneading.

Kitchen surfaces are made impermeable and easy to clean for a reason.
