Rachael Ray

Rachael Ray needs to contain her hair when she is working in the kitchen. Swishing it back is not the answer. I would not want to eat whatever she cooked.

Her program was on when I went for bloodwork. The lab was busy so I got to watch. Between the hair all over and touching other items and then the food, it was a mess. No thanks!!!

She's wild and impulsive in the kitchen. A lot of people don't like her. Not a chef, but a good cook. Cooks a lot of comfort food intended for families. She's OK. My favoirite is Bobby Flay. Love him.

she should cook with Wolfgang Puck who licks his fingers and continues to prepare the food.

Good grief. It's a tv show, not a restaurant.

And, if you could see what goes on in the kitchens, you'd stay home.

I agree.

Remember the days when food handlers wore hairnets.

Now many chefs have full bushy beards——-not very sanitary,hygienic, or appetizing.

It's so gross when she touches raw meat, just wipes her hands on a towel and continues on. Even if no one is eating the food it skeeves me out lol

RR is very hard to watch these days, so pushy and loud and some of the comments she makes off the cuff, are down right rude. I have to wonder if RR ever views her shows, I think it would be an eye opener for her. As far as contaminating the food, I noticed that too, the staff does eat the food prepared on set, hope no one gets sick.

That is hysterical and boy you got that right! My son worked in restaurants when he was in his late teens early 20s...he would always say to me and his dad, mom don’t eat there, or there or there. Food slides off the plate, hits the greasy flithy floor and goes right back on the plate to your table. Yep, mmm hmmm. Dont eat out often but when I do, that does cross my mind🤷🏻‍♀️

I think Rachael's 5 minutes has been up for a looong time.

The really good news is that she is showing you how to cook and time is limited, so she has to skip steps and is not making the food to eat.

If you do those things you are talking about at home, well that's on you and yours. Rachael is just showing you how to make the dish.

I am not a fan of hers, but I'm not eating it, so I have no gripes about stuff like that. I rarely pay that much attention to exactly what she is doing.

@IMW I've seen male food handlers wearing a hairnet on their beard, lol. It looks funny, but solves the problem.

I guess I’m in the minority here but I like Rachael Ray. She rebooted her 30 minute meals show and I really enjoy it. Also, she is not a cafeteria worker and should not wear a hair net while cooking. So shoot me! She’s a nice lady and a self made success. Just helping people get food on the table quickly and well prepared.

Many of the cooks on the Food Network have long hair...guess pulling it back doesn't look good for TV...

Re: Rachael Ray

sissel — Sat, 08 Jun 2019 06:45:21 GMT

Yes, no hairnets well their shows so understand, their shows we watch & we decide if we want to cook their recipes. /We control

phluphy — Sat, 08 Jun 2019 08:12:13 GMT

The food network needs to cancel that show...Rein her in!! She is not the same, too loud and messy. Never watch her show after one time. They could take chopped off also, they played the show back to back...Bring in something new...

Bobby Flay’s hands/ finger nails have always grossed me out

@I am appleblossom

The hair thing on anyone makes me queasy, so I don't watch.

Yea, I know I don't want to see inside any commercial kitchens. We don't eat out much, and places we do are seafood shacks that mostly steam stuff. I figure the steam kills the cooties

I'm a dinosaur and remember when cooking shows were really about COOKING, not the person behind the stove.

I can't really watch the current crop of "food" shoes as they are just too overtaken by the personalities, drama, and goofiness.

Do all of you who are so offended by hair on cooking shows wear hairnets at home when you cook?
