I wear gloves when preparing food

I don't know if that's OCD or not. I hate to wear gloves, though, and don't even wear them for things like cleaning the oven or working in the garden. A good scrub and some lotion and I'm good to go. One of me sisters in law likes to mix meatloaf with her hands because she likes to "play with her food" as she puts it. Guess it takes all kinds.

I use to wwear gloves at work preparing food, I have done it at home but it got too expensive. I really don;t cook meat often, but I can see your reasoning. I hate meat, and touching the bones, or fat, etc just turns me off so I think gloves would help with that.

No, I don't wear gloves when preparing food. However, I also don't eat meat, so I'm not coming into contact with something that has such a high likelihood of contamination, either. I tend to oil my hands (using olive oil) when making things such as biscuits or pizza dough. This decreases the amount of stuff sticking to my hands and makes in easier to work with the dough.

I personally think you got a very good habit of wearing gloves. This is good for both parties, the one who prepare the food and the one who eat it. It is more hygiene too. I think I will do the same in the future when handling raw meat. Thanks for this good idea.

You do fine to wear those gloves so you don't have to wash your hands 20 times a day when you are cooking,but do not use those gloves I just for myself wash my hands, I don't like sticky things on my hands eather like honey or sugary stuff, I can say that it is a good habit that developed cooking it is what you are there is nothing wrong in what you are doing and it is not an illness like your daughter try to make you believe. So good cooking.

Don't feel bad, just think of it like this, your a very clean person and you must take really good care of your hands and don't like them to feel weird. Believe me there are a lot of things that I cook that I don't like the feel of. I know one thing, I wouldn't mind eating at your house!!! :-)

hi pointlessquestions Ido notr wear glives but I know a lot who do.I do wash my hands often when I had my own apartment and was cooking so my hands were not gunky. Iknow at lot of people who do so tell your daughter you do not have OCD. lol That your right to be clean like that,theres not athing wrng with it. the law makes oall the care givers in the kitchen and dining room to wear gloves and their long Mexican tresses muat be curtailed into an net.Safety for onver 113 residents here. just imagine it food poisoing broke out here wha a mess . nof nurses or doctors on rthe premises so they would have to shuttle them off to t he ERs via amubulance. lol

I could not do anything with gloves. But my mother does not like to get her hands dirty, just as you. She used to garden a lot (with gloves) and cooked awesome food with spoons, forks and knives that she used very well. I like to use my hands. I don`t think it`s a sign of any disease though

I don't mind touching meat . . . but I'll bet the gloves come in handy for not getting bits caught under your nails! How is it handling dough with the gloves - less sticky? I can't even wear gloves for washing dishes - I feel like a fumbling when I wear them - hee hee.

hi dearest PQ I dont think its weird you use gloves when preparing food. I had problems as well with meats touching my hands for a long time but now I dont mind any more. I wash my hands lots of times a day so they are clean at all times.

I do sometimes with meats as well. But not with other foods.
