Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: boiling/brushing marinades.

welllllllllllllllllll ....... on the one hand, i suppose one could make the argument that boiling raw chicken juice makes it ok to eat.

on the other hand, why mess around? I'm not exactly paranoid, but i am CAREFUL. (When I mess with raw chicken in the kitchen, I'm like lunging for the antibacterial soap and hot water, thinking "raw chicken poison juice" in my mind.)

You only have to see 70 people in the ER from food poisoning to figure it out and get REALLY careful about this. (No, I didn't do it, but I got the job of the person who was drop-kicked off the job for that little fiasco.)

Anyway. Boiling a marinade and then brushing it onto grilling meat. It would have to be one really fancyass marinade in my mind before I'd do that -- like made with single malt scotch or something.

I smoke meats now and then and what I usually do is marinate the meat (say salmon) in one mixture (like lemon and garlic and pepper and white wine), then brush a second mixture (like pineapple juice and brown sugar and bourbon) on the meat while it's on the smoker.
