They are destroyed during cooking but washing the chicken is likely to project on other foods (salad for example) or the work plan that will be soiled, "warns Dr. Fabien Squinazi .

Parade: Wash the utensils with soap and water between each food and, especially, wash your hands before and after each handling. For effective cleaning, it is thought to clean around the nails, between the fingers and at the wrist.

The parade : It is thrown at the first signs of wear. Or we sand it if we chose a wooden board (more resistant in general). The board is rinsed with water and soap between each food.
