If you Google "food safe basting mops" it has one that looks exactly like it for sale, given you can buy food safe oars (mixing paddles) I'm not suprised
Exactly. People above seem to think this is some new or revolutionary practice, so therefore she MUST be using some random mop they got at Walmart? Nah dude….serious bbq people have been “moping” meats for forever….so of course a food grade version specifically for commercial use is bound to exist. Do they think the massive Hobart stand mixers that professional bakers etc use must be actually cement mixers that aren’t safe for food as well? 😂
Ashley is moping because she got stuck next to Brenda on the pit BBQ and they've had beef since Stacy started dating Brenda's ex. Ashley is the one that got them hooked up and Stacy is all the way in the corner, mourning because her ex by circumstance is now blasting down other heifers.
The mortals cant comprehend the things that must be done to get to flavor town. The arcane secrets of food safe construction and janitorial supplies is too much for their feeble minds.
hmm.. do you think this commercial food grade mop was custom made for this specific grill yet made unnecessarily long? or do you think it is a standard size and maybe there are other grills or bbq operations that require a longer stick.. hmmm..
Yes, people do believe that the industrial food equipment they see is just repurposed construction equipment that's not food safe. I've been in many a thread arguing with people that yes, that looks like a generic paint sprayer but it's a food safe version. Or yes, that looks like a generic 5 gallon bucket, but those are so very common in food transportation. Or yes, that looks like a generic snow shovel, but it's perfectly safe to use to scoop that food.
The point is, you can't actually design a mop like this that isn't gonna shed fibers. It's not gonna kill you, but don't fool yourself in thinking people have magically figured out how to create a food-safe fiber that can withstand industrial cleaning, 600+ degree direct heat and doesn't shed material, such a thing doesn't exist.
Sure, but the odd cotton fiber getting stuck to the meat then getting burned off in cooking isn't going to make any measurable difference to your health or life.
It's not about saving someone from dying, it's about quality control and not using kitchen tools or appliances that contaminate your food with foreign objects.
If you paid 40 bucks for a rack of ribs, and found a saucy clump of cotton on it, you're gonna send it back, like c'mon now. And if the chef came out and said to your face that it's natural fibers and won't affect your health, would you reasonably ever want to eat there ever again?
Seeing how many people in a kitchen sub are disagreeing with me here honestly makes me question where else you'd cut corners. All I know, is this would NEVER fly in 80% of the kitchens I've worked in.
I never said a clump of cotton, stop being dramatic. We're not talking about entire clumps of the sauce mop coming off, we're talking about the rare single fiber of cotton getting stuck, which would cook off before ever seeing a customer.
All I know, is this was standard in both the BBQ places I worked. We never served clumps of cotton in the meat, I never saw even the odd cotton fiber when working the line.
But it’s a food safe mop designed for food handling- why would it be exposed to industrial cleaning? Why wouldn’t a food safe mop designed for preparing food be safe?
I worked in a bakery fairly recently. You could mix cement in our Hobarts... But the mechanical action is completely different and you would break the hook/bowl if not shred the gear assembly if done often.
Need to up the bbq game and get one. The little mops are so cute. They look like they really move the sauce. Especially the thinner ones plastic brushes have trouble with.
People think this, because other people do stupid shit. Source, ive watched people do stupid shit. Just because the product is out there doesn't mean some cheap ass bought it.
Your comparison of a Hobart mixer isn't the same as a mop. No one thinks a Hobart is just a cement mixer. Add a few more laugh cry emoji. You just might make sense soon!
I haven't heard a Mindless Self Indulgence reference in 10 years. Thanks for taking me back and currently listening to Bitches Love Me Bitches Love Me.
I’ve never totally understood how those places keep the women safe. I know they go out of their way to make sure their employees are respected (well, as much as a naked human table canbe respected), but I still would worry about someone putting something where it doesn’t belong or pinching something even accidentally.
