Does anyone have recommendations for type of disposable gloves to use in prep work?
I have grillers gloves for handling beeef and pork coming off the smoker or grill. They protect my hands from the heat and are ribbed for good grip. I.m happy with these gloves. What I.m looking for are vinyl/nitrile/latex disposable gloves that I will using washing, cutting and otherwise handling poultry before cooking. Once I have it on the fire I remove and toss the gloves then clean the prep aresa with bleach.
To some, this might sound a bit over the top; but I have a compromised immune system and several artificial joints. I spent a month in the hospital last summer when an otherwise innocuous bacteria settlees in and around an artificial knee joint. Not only did I have a second surgery on the site but the infection brought on kidney failure and I dang near bought it. I was on IV antibiotica for 8 weeks and continue to take them daily in pill form. I can.t afford to take risks but I like to cook chicken so I.m gonna do gloves.
I need extra large size and nothing flimsy like some of the .4mil stuff I.ve seen, but I don't know whether food handling is OK for vinyl, latex, or nitrile gloves. I assume that I want powderless so as not to flavor the chicken. I haven't found much wiki on choosing gloves by searching. Mostly the disposables are mentioned for healthcare situatiions.
Would be much obliged for the skinny on these things.
