Читать книгу Charcuterie For Dummies - Mark LaFay - Страница 31

Since working in food service, I’ve grown accustomed to using food-safe gloves for almost everything I do with food, regardless of whether it’s at work or at home. Food-safe gloves are an extra barrier of protection. They aren’t as necessary when handling food that must be cooked before it can be eaten. They are, however, an absolute necessity if you are handling food that is ready to eat, like salamis and whole-muscle charcuterie, which I discuss later in this book. Figure 2-2 shows some food-safe gloves.

FIGURE 2-2: Stay safe with food-safe gloves.

Gloves meant for food handling can be plastic or latex, and they can be powder lined or powder free. The powder makes it easier to slip the gloves on if your hands are still slightly damp from you washing them before putting them on.
