Saw a special on this once upon a time and the cook that did not wash their chicken but just put it on it's pan and cooked it had much less salmonella around their kitchen then the clean freaks for this very reason. That's true. But this is beef, not chicken. Raw chicken doesn't find its way into my kitchen any more. I never wash my meat unless I'm going to eat it raw and I've just seen some scare story in the news. My custom is to take it from its wrapper and plop it in the pot as you describe. Don't mess with chicken at all anymore. Along the same lines as your special, I have seen that those who don't clean their kitchens much actually have fewer critters because those who wipe up all the time are mostly just spreading the germs around. (The bit I saw featured men vs women.) I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. So have at it and enjoy:) If it hasn't killed me by now, it probably won't. If my immune system ever goes, then I'll have to reconsider but, in the meantime, thanks, I will enjoy.

<<Edit and with that all said eating raw hamburger is really not uncommon at least with folks I know. >> The problem with raw burger is any bacteria gets in the mix and not on the outside.

Oral, That said salmonella really isn't an issue unless you are weakened in some manner. If healthy with a healthy immune system it isn't a big deal. I think that;s a key point, which unfortunately never gets mentioned in the reporting. Besides, it is not an issue anymore, since: FDA Approves Salmonella (As part of healthy, balanced diet) theonion.com In another scientific study: Alligators Dangerous No Matter How Drunk You Are BATON ROUGE, LA—In a breakthrough study that contradicts decades of understanding about the nature of alligator–drunkard relations, Louisiana State University researchers have concluded that people's drunkenness does not impair the ancient reptiles' ability to inflict enormous physical harm. Enlarge Image Alligators exhibit the potential to inflict serious harm, regardless of the blood-alcohol levels of their victims. "Our data strongly indicates that human intoxication does not transform an alligator into a docile creature that enjoys wrestling," said professor Ryder McCrory, chair of the Wildlife Taunting Department of LSU's prestigious Center For Bullying And Hazing Studies. "Despite its slow-witted demeanor and tendency to bask motionlessly in the hot sun, it's a mistake to believe that an alligator will passively tolerate a half nelson, no matter how much Southern Comfort is fueling it." McCrory said the study yielded statistics that speak for themselves. "In 10 out of 10 documented cases of violent alligator–drunkard encounters, the reptile was not influenced by the fact that the victim was 'just kidding' or 'just having some fun,'" McCrory said... theonion.com
