Why cant you mix cooked & uncooked meats?

Question

When you are stirfrying chicken for example surely it mixes itself half way though cooking? ie. One side cooked and the other side raw?!
Help me with this mind-boggler please!!!!!

Answer 1

its not about mixing, its about the process of cooking a meat, meat doesnt turn staright to cooked u know? the longer it is cooked the more it gets cooked.
less cooking means less cooked therefore usually raw.
most meats have to be fully cooked to be eaten but there are exceptions, red meat can be eaten raw but has to be very fresh, chicken has to be cooked fully because of the bacteria samonella that can exist .

Answer 2

To prevent food borne diseases. Separate cooked and uncooked food. Avoid cross-contamination by not using platters or utensils contaminated by raw foods for cooked foods. Put cooked foods on clean platters, not the ones that held the raw meat.
prepared food can be cross contaminated when juices from raw foods are dripped onto cooked food or when utensils or cutting boards used for raw food are also used for cooked food.
The Centers for Disease Control has a few simple recommendations for how to decrease the risk of developing a foodborne disease.
Cook meat, poultry and eggs thoroughly
Separate cooked and uncooked food. Avoid cross-contamination by not using platters or utensils contaminated by raw foods for cooked foods. Put cooked foods on clean platters, not the ones that held the raw meat.
Wash hands before preparing food and immediately after handling raw foods.
Cooking your stirfry will not present a problem. Just keep stirring it over,and be sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly.

Answer 3

Was there any need to REALLY ask that question? it's like asking why don't u drink snake venom?! it's a monumentally stupid question. if the raw meats juices drip or come into contact with any cooked meat it contaminates it instantly and if ur that much of an idiot to try it then u'll either be violently throwing up or dead in a very short space of time. FREAKIN MORAN!

Answer 4

the meat should always be cooked before adding any other ingredients incase of food poisoning because of the level of bacteria in unsterilised meat if you add other ingredients before the meat is fully cooked the rest gets too much exposure to bacteria which will cause food poisoning except for beef and lamb where ingredients can be added as early sealing the meat

Answer 5

You can't mix them when storing because of bacteria. But when you're cooking the heat kills the bacteria so there is no cross contamination.

Answer 6

The blood oxidizes after that is been floor or cut back, turning the beef from crimson to brown. It would not recommend the beef is spoiled. For destiny reference, seem for the brightest beef on the food market...it potential it grow to be freshly cut back. And there should not be alot of blood on the styrofoam tray. in case you do not intend to apply floor beef the day you acquire it, freeze it for optimal freshness.
