Not so long ago, a study was presented that showed that the most bacteria in the kitchen are not in the trash can or sink. The real clusters are on the items that we forget to clean after cooking, and these are containers for spices. Especially when we prepare meat and touch it with our hands. Wiping the spice containers that we reach for is therefore extremely important. Bacteria can also multiply in another place: the cutting board, even though we regularly clean it.
