It Could Happen To You: Thanksgiving Cooking Fails To Avoid

Dish Detergent Washing

Meat is dirty, right? For some people it makes sense to wash the turkey off with dish detergent. According to the USDA, this is a huge mistake.

You risk giving your guests a foodborne illness and messy runs to the bathroom.
