If you enter the restroom in practically any restaurant or grocery store you will see a sign that directs persons who work with your food to wash their hands before handling your food. Hand washing is not only important in food preparation in commercial kitchens, it should also become a part of our own cooking habits.
While it is common sense, to wash your hands after using the toilet before preparing food for anyone, including yourself, many people do not follow proper hand washing techniques. You should also wash your hands after handling raw meat. The bacteria from the raw meat can be transferred to raw vegetables that you are preparing for the salad.

Many times we may think that we have stomach flu, but in actuality, we have a case of food poisoning. If our food is prepared without proper hand washing techniques, the bacteria that is transferred to the food can begin to grow and in a short while, we are eating food that is covered in salmonella or e-coli bacteria. These bacteria can cause severe gastrointestinal problems. A person with a weakened immune system could even die from the poisoning.
Proper washing of your hands begins with wetting the hands with warm water. Once your hands are wet, you need to apply soap and scrub your hands for thirty seconds. One suggestion is to sing through the song Happy Birthday once as you wash your hands. This takes about the required thirty seconds. Rinse the hands in warm water. Dry on a clean towel. Be careful that you do not touch anything else before you touch your food.
In commercial kitchens, workers are taught to wash their hands in the restroom and then follow the same procedure once they get back to the kitchen before touching food. This would also be a good practice in your own home.
Washing your hands before leaving the kitchen helps to remove any bacteria that may have been on the food you were preparing off of your hands so that you do not spread the germs to the rest of your home.
With all the washing, it is easy for your hands to become dried out. You may want to choose a good moisturizing soap and use a good hand cream or lotion after you finish your work in the kitchen.
Proper hand washing techniques are just as important in home kitchens as they are in the commercial environment.
