So can you confirm he did or not for me.
Actually, in a restaurant or anywhere, even at home, I like to be as sure as I can food is prepared and cooked properly.
Particularly as to preparing raw meat and chicken then the cooking of same.
Cooked all through properly through, the whole chicken or joint of meat.

I don't think any risks should be taken preparing and cooking food, even more so for others.
I'd hope anyway, he washed his hands and arms thoroughly both before and after preparing the chicken, before he handled anything else or went on any other workplace.
If you know for sure he did wash his hands and arms fine.

So if you were invited to someone's house for dinner would you be asking all these questions before you sat down?

I don't think so. There's a difference between going to a restaurant where you're paying for a meal and can demand it's done how you like it and someone cooking you a meal for free.

If you don't like how someone does something then you cook for yourself. End of. They all panicked when he told them to cook for themselves because they obviously can't cook.

I rarely eat meat.
I usually find, maybe you don't, when I'm invited for dinner or a meal. I'm asked what I like.
If meat is on the agenda, then yes, I would certainly advised before, that I like my meat cooked very well done.
I've never had a problem from anyone on that asking me and I'm asked to dinner very regularly actually, as I invite people regularly to me too.

I always ask what people like and how they like it done too.
Hopefully that answers your questions.
Perhaps you will now answer the question I asked
Did he and do 'you' know for sure if he did thoroughly wash his hands and arms, before and after preparing raw meat.

He was on masterchef wasnt he? Id trust his cooking

That said I was very concerned for the chickens safety when he was beating it up

I mean it should have been the chicken asking to see the producers not roxy

We asked for the chickens to return for the back to basics approach to this series, now I wish they hadnt, it was upsetting

He came second on Celeb Masterchef and he's done quite a few shows involving cooking so probably fair to say he does know what he's doing in the kitchen, moreso than most who assume that role

It kind of gave me Shilpa flashbacks, there was a thing about her undercooking chicken aswell and it got very racist.

Let's not overreact . I did wonder if Hardeep rushed the cooking,but some people said they mistook the Jacob soggy crackers for raw chicken LOL

But as I've said Gabby ,Dan & Ryan probably can't cook won't cook themselves , they're too use to Hardeep doing it . But personally if I thought I got food poisoning ,I'd cook my own food or eat something else . Clearly they're too scared to step on Hardeep's toes and they have no basic cooking skills .

a no, I don't mean it's anything like that level but I think it's just dangerous ground is all and If I were Hardeep and was cooking for everyone and someone implied I might have gave them food poisoning I'd be a bit offended. Although saying that a whole chicken should take longer than an hour to cook

Hardeep must be cranking up the oven and only cooking the outside , surely he should know how long to roast a chicken??! , is he cutting corners ? :facepalm.

I think they should all cook their own meals,then let's see if Dan & Ryan still feel poorly .

exactly I was hesitant to say it but there are racial undertones and comparisons to Shilpa here

and why does everyone think Hardeep is dirty, yes he has a lot of body hair but that doesn't mean he doesn't wash?

Tbf he does sometimes cook topless and people think hair will go in the food.

Like I said I think they should all cook their own meals, I think they're too lazy though so they just make Hardeep do it while complaining about him . Why doesn't Dan volunteer to Roast the chicken himself .

Dan stands in the kitchen topless as well.... I agree he shouldn't do it, but if they are that bothered they really should sort themselves out food wise

Exactly but they're too lazy to cook for themselves and they probably can't cook that well,so instead they let Hardeep . But if they were worried about food poisoning then they should prepare their own food .

Yeah i know, it makes me slightly uncomfortable and i was hesitant to say it too because clearly its not on the Shilpa level or anywhere near but it just reminded me a little of it

[smudgie]

That poor chicken. He was taking his anger out on it.
If he is doing all the cooking and couple of them have got the squits then they do right in questioning him.
Dan was his pet, he had a bad stomach after he had eaten a meal prepared by him.
It’s not just all about how well the chicken is cooked, food hygiene is very important.

[Crimson Dynamo]

His forearms are very hairy it was a little gross as many hairs would go in the chicken

[user104658]

I haven't seen this tbf but did someone say he roasted a chicken in an hour? he probably did give them food poisoning . A whole chicken takes 1hr30 - 1hr45 to cook through properly.

and that's a small chicken, a bigger one could be in there for 2-2.5 hours

Yeah to cook fully through it needs a long time,you can't risk food poisoning. I wonder if Hardeep gets fed up of waiting and rushes the food ,is he impatient as well as grumpy . I would want to make sure it's COOKED though .

Chicken pieces can take less, but a whole chicken takes longer, i think.

[Beso]

Can i just say the word spatchcock.

[Vanessa]

A chicken definitely needs more than one hour to cook. Depending on on size. Probably about one hour and a half,?

[Beso]

45 minutes...he was doing it for an hour because of dans precious ickle tummy wummy...
