I only wear my wedding band when I cook, and I know there's nothing under there. I wash my hands 100 times while I'm cooking, because every time I touch the food, i have to wash them before I touch a different thing. If I taste the food, I wash the spoon before I dip it into the food again.
I don't like to eat at fast food restaurants because most of the workers are teens, and I know how nasty some teens can be.....they don't always wash their hands even when they go to the bathroom. They don't mind drinking out of the same bottle as someone else, and I've seen many young girls walk right out of the bathroom after they come out of the stall and go straight out without washing their hands....ewwwwww.

its not so much as "there is gunk" under a ring.... its all the nooks and crannies, the edges and crevices.... harbor bacteria. Its why i did not allow nail polish....the chipped edges of where they polish is....that edge harbors bacteria.
not everyone is as up on washing hands as the people in this thread.

My wedding band doesn't have nooks and crannies, nor edges and crevices...it's solid gold, and I never take it off - my engagement ring is a solitaire diamond, and I would not consider wearing it while cooking or doing any kind of housework, anyway. I also never put polish on my nails - used to have fake nails and got tired of that several years back. Gardening is not a friend of fake nails, so I let them go....
I'm also conscious of people that cook for me, if their house is neat, I'm sure they are probably good about washing their hands while cooking. Had a friend who let her pets get up on the dining room table and other furniture.....I wouldn't eat at her house.
Same here......wish I hadn't opened this thread. ..Maybe it's just me,but I refuse to eat any meal made by anyone that refuses to take their rings off. If my sister in law is preparing dinner, I always check her hands. Sometimes she has 4 rings on each hand...sometimes just her wedding ring. Problem is...have you ever taken your rings off to have them cleaned and saw all that gunk underneath? Now imagine dipping your hands, and those gunky rings, smearing around in a raw meatloaf, then her washing her hands afterwards, then preparing a salad. That gunk now has more company to harden and collect under the stones and in the stone clasps, etc. Washing hands is not going to remove it. It takes steam, an old toothbrush, etc to get that crap loose and all the germs and bacteria with it.
Tonight, I am watching Chopped. This woman has this multi cluster diamond ring on, sticking her hands in everything. She is glad I am not a judge because I would refuse to just taste it knowing that ring got dipped in raw food, then prepared, then spread on my plate with that ring on her hand.
Am I crazy? Persnickety? Or correct in thinking it's icky to cook with rings on?
I never considered it before, but after reading this...ewww!!!

lol...yeah, sanitizer too!
squirt bottles train the cats not to be on the counters.....
In my case, my nails are always squeaky clean. The reason is that I bite my nails right to the flesh, and the wife is not too happy about it. Well, I reminder her occasionally that unlike her, I don't have to worry about scrubbing under my nails so I can prepare food without worry about any dirt/germs getting into the food. Also, it's silly for men to have long nails, somehow it doesn't seem right.i would not allow rings...or nail polish in my kitchen.
simple as that.
I'd prefer no long nails, for that matter.
Amen to Sanitizer!

Oh yeah....I forgot. I doubt my friend ever tried it, and at the time I didn't have pets....too busy with little kids to bother with pets.

Ring gunk and nail dirt is the kick i look in a meal.
Humankind lived ok along with dirt and bacteria for thousands of years, so i am fine with those. But all those chemicals produced to kill bacterias, i dont trust them.
i dont use the sanitizer at home but i do at work....i handle money .....nothing is nastier...and my customers are skiers...o they hold it in their mouths....credit cards they will hold in their mouths....and i swear spit them at me...hands are full with skis or they are covered to the max with clothes...i love the men who just hand me their wallets and say something like "honey take what you need" to cover their tickets....many times they have forgotten little gems of blunts or coke they have stashed in their wallets....
