5 Foods You Should Never Wash Before Cooking, According to USDA

Washing food usually sounds like a sensible safety step. But when certain raw foods are placed under a running faucet, that rinse can make your kitchen less safe -- not more. Water does not reliably remove the harmful bacteria that may be present on raw animal products. Instead, droplets can carry those germs into the sink, onto countertops and utensils, and even onto nearby food.

Yes, Dr. Sarah Axelrath of Colorado Coalition for the Homeless told the Denver City Council Monday. Axelrath, an addiction medicine specialist, said going after drug traffickers doesn’t make people stop using substances.

I stopped baking cornbread after learning this stovetop version

Crispy on the outside, soft and creamy in the middle, and no oven required. Once you try hot water cornbread, the boxed stuff doesn't stand a chance. This isn't baked cornbread. It's fried patties made with just cornmeal, boiling water, and a hot skillet, the kind of thing grandmothers used to make without ever writing down a recipe.
