I've never seen any chef, swat a fly with a knife, squeeze
lemon with their teeth or hang pasta to dry on a kitchen
tap... and I think that handwashing on screen is a time
waster that could be better spent demonstrating the cooking.
BUT it certainly wouldn't hurt to pull a Julia Child every
now and then and state that you begin to cook with
"impecibally clean hands".




Practice safe eating - always use condiments
