Do you lick the bowl???

[lukenick1]

Just wondering how many of you avoid the warnings about eggs and salmonella and still lick the bowl of cake batter, brownie batter, cookie dough? I used to when I was a kid but you won't catch me now nor will I let my kids. I miss that awesome chunk of raw choc chip cookie dough though.

I don't lick the bowl per se, but I will have a small taste from the mixing spoon or beater (once I'm done with it, of course!)

 

[JustineMarie]

I still let my kids do it. They've never become sick.

I lick the bowl. I usually prefer batters and cookie dough raw than cooked anyway. I'm still alive.

 

[Hannathy]

Yep! and my kids do to, best part of baking.

YUMMM....I have to try and wrestle it from DH...but neither of us have ever gotten sick

 

[STLDisney_Freak]

Always and I'm not dead yet.

 

[Klismania]

Same here. It's a fight over who gets the brownie batter mix so I try to make them when everyone else is out of the house.

So far no salmonella or other food poisoning and I've been doing it all my life.

 

[WhatATreat]

Yup. I try to make things when nobody else is around too so I can have the batter/dough all to myself.

And I also sometimes during certain times of the month buy some Nestle raw cookie dough and just eat that for dinner. Boy that's good.

My son is allergic to eggs so I now have to use substitutes....we can lick the bowl with no fear at all!

 

[cappygirl]

I've always done it (except during pregnancy) and haven't had any problems (so far!). I heard you can buy pasteurized eggs though and problem solved?

 

[wdwmom2]

I have actually made brownies and cakes just cause I had a hankerin' for the batter!!!!

 

[catgirl]

I lick the bowls, beaters, and the spoon, YUM!! I let my dog lick the beaters too! We are both alive & kicking.

Me too!!

I hope you lick them first, then let the dog and not the other way around....

 

[Mermaid02]

I do- and I dont' worry at all. We also eat our beef on the rare side, our eggs over easy and once in a while I've been known to thaw something on the counter! I don't even remember the last time anyone in the house had any "tummy trouble".

 

[pilotwife_02]

I do (when I'm not pregnant of course). I don't let my boys (4 an 3) do it yet although they ask if they can. I'm not sure why, I guess I figure their little bodies can't fight off getting sick as well as I could.

I sure did miss sampling the cookie dough from all the cookies I made this Christmas.

Ditto!

Why wait? Raw cookie dough is a great dinner any time of the month!
