DRIVE ME CRAZY . . .
I know they have just oodles of people to follow them around and clean up all their drips and smudges. BUT I sure DON'T. I find putting out a saucer or plate on the counter is a great place to lay my used utensils and a real time saver. No messy clean up just a quick soapy wash in hot water and you're done.
Another pet peeve -- is the apparent lack of sanitary practices. Even the best of them will use the same fork or pair of tongs to transfer RAW meat or chicken to a pan, lay the unwashed fork on the bare counter or hang the tongs on the oven door handle. UCK -- and then use the same unwashed utensil to flip the meat and AGAIN to remove the cooked meat to a serving tray.
Sure looks like cross contamination from raw to partially cooked to cooked. I personally use a regular CLEAN dinner fork for EACH use. No big deal to me to toss them in a sink of soapy water to soak until time to clean up the kitchen. No chance of cross contamination in my kitchen.
Wishing you good eats, good friends and good health.
