What’s the point of food-safe gloves? You’re still touching everything. I don’t get it
In: 25
Gloves are to protect hands, not protect whatever your hands are touching.
Food safe gloves are gloves with special properties that mean they wont contaminate the food, are strong and they should also be a colour like blue, so that if they break and get into the food, its obvious.
So food safe is in comparison to say a medical glove which might have certain compounds, like latex or powders.
But its important to note this is a debate in kitchens with some encouraging the use of gloves and others thinking it doesn’t really help at all. They can make people think gloves are “cleaner” than hands when they aren’t.
