A huge number of pathogens live on the surface of meat, such as E. coli. When we wash meat with water, the water itself does not destroy the bacteria, but washes them away. If the splashes fly in different directions, the colonization of surfaces, dishes, and other products occurs very quickly. Therefore, to prevent this, you need to follow a few simple rules.
