Do you lick the bowl???

[LilyWDW]

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".

I refuse to live my life with worrying about the "what ifs".

I have some wonderful rare roast beef to use on a sandwich in the fridge. YUMMY!

Absolutely!

Bowl, beaters, the wooden spoon I mix the batter with.....we take care of it all!

Been doing it since I was a kid and I absolutely let my kids do it too. As a previous poster said, its the best part of baking.

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

Me too!

If you use Egg Beaters, which are pasteurized, you can eat all the dough you want and not worry.

I don't lick the bowl..........

Haha that reminds me of an old joke my brother used to tell.

Mummy! Mummy!
Can I lick the bowl?
No! go and flush like all the other kids........

 

[J3nn78]

Of course. I only make chocolate chip cookies when I am in the mood for the dough. Once they are cooked, I am done with them. haha

I also let my boys have their "lickers" as they call it. I am not worried about the very small chance of a what if. There is more risk in plenty of other day to day activities.

Speaking of, I am off to make some chocolate chip cookies for my son's class tomorrow. We are all looking forward to the dough! Yum!

Did this on Friday!! There's nothing I love more than homemade brownie batter!

OMG, NEVER! I'm shocked to learn so many people do lick the beaters or bowl. No way I'm doing anything that might cause me to become sick. I hate being sick!!

If I never did anything that might cause me to get sick, I'd never leave the house. It's only the dirty kids that know where the best places to play are going to be!

 

[Wall-E1]

Heck yeah! It's the best part!

 

[dislaney]

Me too!

I should have said me three! That's what I get for not reading the whole thread before I posted.

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 used to lick the bowl all the time as a kid, but never as an adult! I'm too scared!

me too

I lick the beaters, AND I'm pregnant! I also have an 11 year old daughter who has been licking the spoon/beaters ever since she was able to ask. (yep, I ate the batter when I was pregnant with her too) Gotta build up that immune system somehow!

 

[Pooh67_68]

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

This.

 

[Cinderella94]

Lick the spoon every time! .

 

[wtpntigger2]

I lick the bowl, the beaters, the spoon... As others have said, it's the best part about baking. YUM!

 

[shirleyb]

Of course I do.

I'm 47 years old, been doing it all my life and never had salmonella. That should tell you right there the odds are pretty slim. Live on the edge.

 

[Jennasis]

Asolutely. Raw cookie dough is the best and neither I nor anyone I know has ever gotten sick from doing so.

 

[hereyago]

I'm 43 and yes I do. However, after the recall of Nestle, DD12 stopped doing it. More for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
