Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The best practice is to remove all jewelry before handling food, but a plain ring poses minimal risk. SOURCES IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE Dr. Francisco Diez-Gonzalez, director of the University of Georgia's Center for Food Safety: The FDA Food Code: The summary of research indicating that smooth rings might harbor fewer germs than more intricate rings (not free): One study finding that healthcare workers with rings had more bacteria on their hands: The study that found doctors with rings on did not have dangerous levels of bacteria on their hands: The study that showed rings have less bacteria than other kinds of jewelry (not free): The Johns Hopkins instructional video on surgical scrubbing: The study that showed no difference between ring and ring-less hands after washing with alcohol-based sanitizer: The video where I toss a steak in board juices

Q: Why didn't you address ring avulsion (trigger warning before you google that)A: I suppose I might have, had Dr. Diez mentioned it when I interviewed him. I do know about it (unfortunately, but I doubt it's a significant risk in a home kitchen. Maybe a stand mixer could do it to you? Q: Did you know that induction burners (high-tech electromagnetic cooking surfaces that are becoming popular in high-end restaurants) can heat your ring up to 500 F from several feet away? A: I do now Good lord (Edit: Actually this might not be true, see reply below)Q: Are people really concerned about cooking with a ring? A: If you read the comments on prior videos in which I cooked while wearing my ring, apparently so For serious, this video is not me being defensive. I take (usually) comments to be a sincere expression of what people are curious/concerned about, and I want to make videos that speak to those interests. Q: Are you a scientist? A: Nope, I'm a journalism professor, that's why I interview scientists. Q: Why don't you blink? A: I blink many times in this video I suppose I'm generally blinking more between takes than during them. I'm not trying not to blink. Maybe the relatively infrequent blinking during takes is a function of my level of concentration I have to think really hard to keep the next couple lines of script memorized and to look into the camera as I deliver them. I'm a radio/print guy and being on-camera does not come naturally to me. Maybe I'll get better at it with time. Q: Why aren't you cooking something? A: I'm still doing recipe videos every Thursday. That's a promise. I'm now also doing food topic videos that aren't recipes on most Mondays (no promises on that. Thursday's video is gonna be a follow-up to the mac & cheese video. Get excited.

About five years ago, my cousin dropped his ring made of military grade uranium into the soup at our family reunion I was totally unbeknownst to the situation later that evening I learned that I had acquired physic powers I quickly confided in my cousin. He realized that he had dropped his ring into the soup and we all shared in a hearty guffaw. Wearing jewelry whilst cooking can sometimes have a upside too

There are more bacteria and viruses on those two pennies than there are on your ring and much more potentially dangerous buggies on the paper currency you handle each day. By the way, is everybody out there aware that there are literally more bacteria, virus, and yeast cells on and in your body than there are human cells? It's true by a factor of approximately 10.

Many restaurants set their standards above what the Federal regulations describe, so as to further avoid potential hazards. Sort of a cover-your-ass approach. It is very common training that even if a plain wedding band is worn, it must be gloved, no exceptions. This would mean that the entire glove would have to come off before the ring could.

Man, foreigners are doing research on germs getting stuck on the ring. Come to India people, we live and breathe germs. It's all about training your immune system. I've seen people live by the drainage and nothing happens to them because their immune system is like a steel armour. Your body is what you put through it people.

I remember working in a central kitchen for a restaurant chain. Toughest job ever. One day they found that a screw was missing in one of the pots. They had to check EVERY INCH OF THE 8 LARGE POTS OF SAUCE (BY HAND) hoping to find that single screw. Every one was frantically sieving the sauce the whole day. Funny

That was concise, thorough, balanced & useful. This guy should teach journalism to students who never forget what he taught them and who go on to senior roles with a global news site. As soon as that happens could someone please send me a link to their www?

In my experience, another problem with studded rings is that if you're wearing disposable rubber gloves such as the kind catering workers often wear you run the risk of the stones tearing a hole in the rubber, which is a potential problem as well.

This is wayyyyy better than other videos that randomly say rEsEArCh hAS sHOwN. This man here actually references papers and presents them in such an informative manner, not like other click baity videos which have little to zero content. claps
