Go boil your head

Yes I do.

I have one and it works a treat and uses almost no water or power.

Does it require thorough cleaning though? This is a dealbreaker for me!

Nope. Just a quick wipe as it only uses a tiny amount of water to create steam .

What about can openers?

Eating food from a can? The poor are indeed a fascinating breed.

But it's had poopy eggs inside it, surely it must be subjected to an extreme deep clean process before being fit for service again?!

So you're in the supermarket buying eggs and when checking the box to make sure you haven't got any broken ones your hand touches one of these hideously contaminated chicken ovulation's. Obviously at this point you then immediately abandon your shopping and head straight to the nearest hand sanitiser before you are safe to touch anything right?

Well, there is the standard procedure of passing it though my kitchen nuclear reactor to rid it of germs but I thought that was so common it didn't need mentioning.

It's not so bad.

When I cook a steak, I only tend to wipe clean the frying pan with a paper towel. Germs won't survive a hot pan, so why waste more time than needed.

So has all the fruit and veg, but you still wash that before cooking/eating right?

Oh you probably don't

Of course not, I like the little surprises you get that way:

Genuinely though, for the most part I don't re-wash fruit and veg, I thought that was what most people did and only the super anal go to such lengths?

Is this a resetera thread

Exactly.

Jokes - I don't actually go into the supermarket to do my weekly shop like a prole scab, online only in my house.

Weekly shop? Online? Supermarket? What are these prole terms?

Surely one simply instructs ones servants to bring in the harvest from ones own personal farm and estate? I treat them well so I'm confident they are not shitting on my strawberries or anything that would require me to wash them beforehand.

Didn't realise GRcade had so many germaphobes

I eat fruit straight out the packet even though it clearly says to wash it first. I hope this gets to you all

That's only because they're unaware of how to properly deal with them...

I bet Preezy doesn't even have a secretary who types all his forum posts for him.

We all probably eat stuff after touching our phones which are almost guaranteed to be covered in gooseberry fool.

I say your logic is sound Jenuall but a different set of rules apply to communal cooking appliances.

I carry hand sanitiser in my pocket.
