My hands are clean!

Last week I read a tip in a cooking mag about mixing meatloaf. It said to put all of the ingredients in a large ziploc, zip it up and mush it together from the outside. Well, tonight I am grilling burgers and wanted to spice them up a bit so I added a chorizo sausage and some other stuff. Then I remembered the tip about the meatloaf. Into the bag all of that stuff went and...it worked!
BTW--I did not have a large ziploc so I used a large oven roasting bag with a twistie. If you try this, be sure to get most of the air out of the bag.

It's probably just me, but I'd rather wash my hands than "waste" the plastic bag! Would make my life so much simpler sometimes to do the "disposable" thing. Just can't do it, though.

Great idea! I'd rather throw the bag away, personally, especially when the meat is really cold!

I will have to tell my sister about this, she won't touch any type of meat. She will cook it and eat it, just won't touch it when raw.

I like this tip. Thanks!

I never thought of that...what a great idea.

I always bake cookies, canned pillsbury rolls, and things like that on tinfoil instead of a cookie sheet so I dont have to wash that afterwards.

Great tip. Will have to try it next time we have hamburgers. I just hate having to repeatedly wash my hands to get all the grease from the meat off of them.

I have non powdwered surgical gloves that I keep in the kitchen just for that purpose. I haven't touched raw meat in ages!!

I love that tip! I h.a.t.e. touching raw meat. I'm a weenie like that.

I hear you. I am a freak-a-zoid about raw meat and to be able to resolve the problem in this fashion is great news for me. In the past I have always had to consider how to limit the amount of surfaces the raw meat came in contact with, so this is a tremendous help. Glad to pass the tip along to my friends on the dis.
