Question

What is the reason for sanitizing dishes, utensils, and food preparation surfaces?

Answer 1

@tnoble4 There are several reasons why we sanitize dishes etc. Germs can become attached to anything that you touch. For example if your brother is eating with a fork and he has a cold anyone who uses that fork will most likely catch the cold. Unless of course you wash it. Dishes it goes the same way, besides you don't want old food scarps on your plate. As for food preparation surfaces, would you want your food to be cooked on the floor? Of course not the floor is filled with germs. Just like a counter top or cutting board. So the main reason for sanitizing our dishes,utensils,and food preparation surfaces are to prevent germs from becoming in contact with your body.
