Absolutely love how you two talk in three languages at once, mid sentence. Yall so cute.

In malaysia, we don't trust our fresh food to be clean enough to cook until we shower them just like human did before getting ready😂 Guys, it's not like i don't cook the meat after washing it💀. It's not like i don't clean the sink after using it💀. It's not like i enjoy splashing water around the kitchen💀.

That "Dripy Dripy liquid" was sooo adorable 🥰❤️

In US. USDA recommends against washing meat as it will get germs on everything else which is a much bigger hazard. Like vegetables or salads or cooked food. If its gone bad, dont eat it. Otherwise surface germs should be killed by cooking and internal if you cook it to recommended temp.

I liked the camera angle used, makes you feel like kid watching parents arguing

Its Malaysia, not Japan. Our meat doesnt come clean.

She's correct. My late mother was a nurse, and we never "wash" meat for just that reason. The bacteria is contained and killed by cooking, and no effort wasted on a counterproductive task

The way she said kita naku naayo sounds sooo cute❤

My man always says “If the bacteria survives after I’ve cooked the meat properly then it earned the right to infect me”

- How do you deal with the bacteria? - You just COOK IT!!! 😂😂😂

In the Philippines, we wash them 3 times, strain the water out and do the first boil before cooking the meat. In Italy, they do like the Japanese people do but still use antibacterial spray to clean the kitchen

Dispite how people react, cooking the bacteria out absolutely works

They actually teach this in culinary school because the bacteria does get spread by the water splashing everywhere or dripping onto food prep surfaces and its harder to completely clean it up that way

There are literal studies that shows 1) washing raw meat will contaminate more than it cleans. 2) cooking correctly with adequate internal temperature will make meats safe for consumption.

dude i love the japanese slipped in there, also respect for the flawless english. my classmates in japan all really had their issues with it.

Her “eh?” Is adorable :3

"Drippy drippy things" 😂😂

She's absolutely correct. Various experiments have shown that rinsing the meat aerosolizes germs from the meat, especially around the sink. The latest recommendation I heard is if you have to wash meat, put water in the bowl, then add the meat to the bowl. Never, ever run meat under the kitchen faucet.

The japanese is so soothing to listen. My ears are blessed.

The mixed language is so cute 😭❤

Bro the language switches are so satisfying

Two points I agree In japan, u can do that. Not here. In malaysia. The processes of packing the meat in malaysia cant be trusted like in japan. U have a very very clean culture in japan. Secondly, we wash the meat to also keep out the unsavory smell of the meat

In europe there is extremely strict rules for hygiene, so we don't do this, although ot is recommended to use specific cutting boards for the different types of food

People need to know that "water" cannot kill germs 😭

it's so easy to understand the japanese-english code switching I love it

"Food poisoning bacteria deshou" is crazy xD love it

As a Malaysian, we always wash our meat. Because here, it’s totally not cleaned. The chicken I get from the market still has like 20-30 feathers on it. Sometimes the fish still comes with scales on the belly. And there’s still so much drippy drip that you’d need a lot of paper towels to wipe it off.

For the folks that are confused, cleaning meat is not to kill bacteria. It’s to get rid of excess fat, skin, feathers that might still be on it. U cook it to get rid of bacteria. And there’s such thing as disinfecting your area afterwards. Cleanliness is important

In the caribbean we wash our meat before cooking as well. But "washing" isn't done like a bath or shower, its using something like lime, lemon, or vinegar to soak the meat which "kills" the bacteria and denatures the protein so the flavor goes in deep without years of marinating. Nothing gets splashed around, no area contamination.

The japanese/English (Japinglish?) conversation is everything 😂

Did she just say "cookして?" 😂 My brain is cracking open with this Japanglish.

Actually washing will require water and as we all know water is full of bacteria(s) as well…from my family’s elderly era we were taught that just use kitchen towel or clean-cooking-kitchen-cloth to pad dry the meat (e.g. fish, etc) and put meat into smaller portion of separate plastic bags in freezer to store away. When time for cooking, we take out the plastic bags based on the meat portion we want to cook then just cook it! By washing meat with water actually causes the meat’s freshness to be reduced and easier to be spoilt within shorter period of time, than not washing it at all. Btw, im a Malaysian living in the city (travelled & lived in other countries abroad) and not some outskirts forest area with lack of hygiene education ya…just thot I may need to clarify this…hahaha😂

The "soshite the bacteria will die" really got me 😂😂😂😂😂 Edit: guys, the whole video is funny, but yeah, my comment was about how cute is the language mix mid sentences 😂❤

Here in Italy too, the discipline says it’s better to not rinse the meat to not contaminate the preparation area. But you have to clean the area and the tools afterward as well. The worst is the chicken meat.

As a black guy, trying to explain this to blacks from the motherland is.... tiring 😅

This is true in America Germany Japan and a lot of countries with strict cleaning restrictions on food however in countries where the food may not be properly processed it makes sense to wash it but that’s not for bacteria more so for blood and physical objects that are inedible (rocks dirt etc) you most likely wouldn’t even get sick from that but it most likely taste better

In malaysia... everything raw need to wash before cook

In germany we also never „wash“ meat but we use paper towels like Zewa to just clean it by lightly scrubbing or touching it with the towels

Here in the US the FDA has put out multiple warnings that washing meat is a bad idea

Australian here. Japanese wife is correct. Way more food risk spreading bacteria in the sink and kitchen with droplets. Cost benefit means you should NOT wash, just cook it fully.

As a Filipino, I do wash the chicken meat. Some chicken meat still have some little feather strands left so it helps when washing it out

As a tip from my microbiology teacher, If you wanna wash it, it’s better to submerge it instead of doing it in a way it could splash the area, if you do it like that you prevent bacterial contamination, like salmonella. (Sorry for the grammar, English is not my mother tongue)

To be fair, i hadnt thought of the water spraying the bacteria around. But ive worked in enough factories to know theres a solid chance theres dirt, plastic pieces, or something on it. Maybe just dip it in a bowl of water or something, but you should definitely clean meat and fresh produce

In canada i know that most people don't wash meat before we cook it, we just cook at the right temp cus it kills the bacteria

Completely valid. Apart from getting contamination everywhere, certain meats are porous, like chicken, meaning if you wash them, surface bacteria can be infused deep into the meat increasing the chance of food poisoning.

The way you guys talk in different languages is so accurate, I like how bilinguals can switch between languages when talking to another who speaks the same set of languages, but the voice in your head always keeps them separate. 😂

She looks so cute from that camera angle I love it 😂❤

She’s right! If you really think about it, it makes sense. Rinsing doesn’t get rid of bacteria.

I do both! I wash the meat, and then use kitchen towel to dry, so that there'll be less oil splashing. Then dettol the countertops after cooking.

In the West Indies we combin water, lemon or lime juice in a bowl and put our meat in it and massage the lemon brine to "wash" the meat to avoid the odd smell meat has (if you know you know). We then drain it and GENTLY rinse the meat free of the lemon juice from the bowl. After we season our meat to marinate...we use LYSOL or BLEACH to clean our sink and surrounding area that could have been contaminated. 😊

They're both kind of right. Meat coming from certain areas at times need to be cleaned, due to hazardous materials on them. You can coock the germs off but not the dirt or anything done during processing.

As a former restauranteur, I took an exam to get a certificate in food safety. According to the experts, food contamination spreads more bacteria when meat is washed. No, it doesn't mean that if you wash the meat, then cook it, you will get sick. The concern is the higher risk of the contaminated water getting onto cutting boards, hands, knives etc. and spreading the bacteria due to negligence or unintended splashing etc. The only time I washed chicken leg meat was to properly defrost it. I did so by running cold water over the chicken in a clean bowl in the sink. Afterwards, I'd drain the water and batch cook all the chicken in oil on a flat top. I'm not saying this is the correct way, but it is what you learn to become a CFPM (Certified Food Protection Manager).

I love the mixed in Japanese that for some reason feels completely understandable

"Then what happens to all the drippy... drippy " 😂

You can just wash the meat with a boiling water pressure jet , works really well! Maybe a little bit extra risky on the side , but it’s cool at least

A quick answer to your question: depends where it is sourced. If sourced to a local food market that is unsanitary, clean it. If not (like a supermarket or a trusted source), no need to wash it.

I love their conversation. It sounded cute tho. Makes me want them to argue more.

The "Drippy, drippy liquid" part is my favourite .They're shooo cute. ☺️💜

in Brazil we usually wash it with water only and then lime.

higiene rules are not the same in Japan and Malaysia so of course habits are different, in Japan even the packaging is absorbing any liquid from meat

The flawless mix of Jenglish is giving me motokano PTSD.

As a cook of over 20 years of experience I never wash the meat. I pat it dry with paper towels and cook it to temperature 135 degrees Fahrenheit for steaks.

Born raised Texan here, never seen anyone wash store bought meat before cooking

She's right! Unless your meat has visible dirt on it, you don't want to wash it. The contaminated water can spray out further than you would think, and you definitely don't want to wash your veg in the same sink if you've missed a single spot in the decon process.

same thing here in Brazil, it's better not washing meat to avoid cross contamination, some people still do but I've seen them put the meat in a bowl and try to wash the remaining drippy drippy stuff with lemon or vinegar but overall we get rid of the potential bacteria by cooking it in high temperatures and washing everything used later with soap or even cleaning bleach. I get that some places around the world might be different tho.

The "You just cook-jyan" was soooo cute❤

This means she will be fine doing "happy time" stuff without you washing the meat first. Excellent!

As an American, I've never washed meat before cooking, I was taught to cook red meat to 165F. After that, if something in it hurts you after its cooked to this temp, maybe you shouldn't be cooking.

Same in UK (for the most part). Don’t wash because any splashes/ drips / specks of contaminated water can go on other surfaces and bacteria can remain deadly for days and be spread further if people touch the area and then touch door handles etc. Just pick it up straight from packaging and place in pan/oven, whatever you’re cooking with, then wash your hands and tap handle

I can set here and listen to this lady talking all the day her voice is just satisfying

I live in America in my family we don't wash the meat, we just cook and use a meat thermometer to check the temperature to make sure it doesn't get overcooked.

In Canada, we are told not to wash raw meat too. Imagine all the bacteria spreading around your kitchen instead of just throwing it right into the pan. She's right high temperature will kill the bacteria.

It's pretty common consensus nowadays, scientifically. Here in Poland, historically and culturally, most people used to wash their meats, though.

I'm Filipino/Chinese/Japanese-American and no one washes their meat in any of my families. My dad says some wash after the butchering, but not store bought meat. We also don't refrigerate farm fresh eggs (and people freak out about that a lot)

Am I the only one who said out loud “nani?” when saw the word? 😂

She is right !! We have now a lot of people advising NOT to wash the meat before cooking, it is actualy worse...

In the UK, tesco has instructions from packaging to tell you to cook from frozen without washing. For vegetables, they do tell you to wash it, to get rid of the pesticides

In the Caribbean we wash the meat with limes. Its not contaminating anything. Its been done for centuries.

In Japan, meat are already cultured In farm and cleaned during cutting and manufacturing.

Why does the bottom up view remind me of 2 penguins having a convo

For anyone not quite understanding what's going on, it also took me a minute to understand the full scope of the discussion from reading some of the comments. I think there are two different kinds of "dirty" being discussed: a) raw meat bacteria is what the woman is talking about b) dirt may be what the man is talking about, which doesn't really "cook away" the way she is talking about with bacteria. If you go outside and drop bacon (or other meat) on the ground and then immediately put it in the pan and cook it without washing it off, you're probably not going to enjoy the gritty texture added to the bacon. Because some of the comments stated that the meat in Malaysia is not trusted to be clean, this probably means that much of the meat production is done by individual people rather than in large factories the way it is done in other countries (such as Japan) that she would not be aware of if she just moved to Malaysia with him. Therefore, he's most likely concerned about actual non-bacterial reasons for washing the meat. I hope I understood the right information. If so, I how this helps anyone confused by the video like I was at first.

We soak it in some type of citric acid (lemon, orange, grapefruit, ...) then wash off the citric substance with potable water. And THEN we let the heat from cooking finish off whatever bacteria there may remain.

Im not japanese and i do this. People seem to forgot that if you get it hot enough nothing survives.

100% correct i have NEVER washed meat before frying and never had food poisoning from my own food (once in thailand, once in tenerifa)

In Indonesia too. When we do wash the meat, this (ordinary cleaning) process might cause the spread of contaminant (bacteria) to the surface of the hands, sink, kitchen stuff, or another foodstuff that might cause cross contamination or infection. One of the best way to clean the meat is by boil the meat or by adding some kind of acid stuff to the meat (or do both) You're welcome 👍🏻

It's the "drippy drippy liquid" for me 😂😂😂😂 and "all died" got me dead!

I have never washed meat before cooking. Here in Australia I trust the safety standards we have in place to protect us

I wash meat with cold running water and my hands to remove small bone chips when the meat is cut. They use electric saws sometimes at the butcher's. I wash chicken and turkey because I remove pin feathers and parts we don't eat such as lung, liver, gizzards, and heart. Always cook to the recommended temperature!

That "eh?" Come straight out of an anime

The first time my Vietnamese wife asked me if I’d washed the meat yet, I cracked up laughing! 😂

she is absolutely correct. there actually have been studies on exactly this concept.

I just learn as well , if you want to defrost the meat , you have to took up from the frizer and put in the fridge overnight, and you can straight away cooked them without washing them . They said if you defrost with water it's gonna have more bacteria in the meat .

In America it is also recommended to not wash meat because of the spread of contamination like salmonella

She's right!! Never ever wash meat under running water- the particles will spread across other surfaces and contaminate them. If you'd like to wash meat, use a non pourous bowl like stainless steel and gently wash it in there.

That's why in most of Southern India we add turmeric to disinfect meat after washing.

The camera angle just makes this 10x cuter

As a German, I agree. Especially when it comes to poultry, it is not advisable to wash before cooking.

Her Japanenglish is adorable 😍🥰

Yeah, no. In Trinidad, we full a large bowl with water then add vinegar, lemon or lime to it then "wash" our meat. We NEVER wash meat under a running faucet. After, we add seasoning. Our seasoning is not just salt and black pepper, it's a mixture of thyme and other herbs. Then we either put it in a sealed container and store it in the freezer for later of let it soak until ready for use. These different food preparation methods have me paranoid about eating from anyone. Saw a video with a dude washing meat with dishwashing liquid. Glad it wasn't me he was trying to delete.

This is so interesting! I know in the US a lot of people don't wash raw meat, but for those of us who do, we rinse the meat with cold water and salt/lemon juice since they both are good at killing bacteria. Afterwards we use hot soapy water to clean the area (sink, dishes, etc) to prevent the spread of bacteria.
