Usually. It's just a habit. I'd rather not have my jewelry get in the way.

I will usually keep it on unless I'm dealign with something SUPER gross or if it's dough and I don't wnat it making my rings all dirty.

Is she tossing a salad on the stove?

Only when I am baking or my hands will get dirty. But that is 75% of the time. Plus to think of all the germs on my ring, YUCK!

I take my watch off but i leave my rings on, well at least my wedding and engagement rings. I can't get my wedding ring over my knuckle most days, so that doesn't go any where!

i take off my rings, bracelet, and watch if i am wearing it while i am cooking. i still wear earrings and a necklace if i cook.

If my hands are going to be having direct contact I always take it off...

this was a huuuge consideration when we were picking my wedding band. when I cook meat or knead dough or something, i don't want to worry about having to pick food out of my ring for the next week!

I generally take off my rings if i think that cleaning them after will be a hassle.

Only when working with raw meat for my meat eating husband and son.

I always take off my ring.

It depends on what I'm making. If my hands are having direct contact with meat or dough, then yes. Otherwise, usually not.

After getting cookie dough all up in engagement ring, YES! I slide it on my watch band and fasten it together and sit it on my headboard so it never gets lost or gross!

Looks like cabbage, syako. And yes, I always take my jewelry off.

I don't always wear jewelry, but when I'm at home, I only remove it if my hands are going to get gunked up or I'll be handling something risky like meat or chicken. If I'm cooking in a professional kitchen and/or cooking for others, I always remove my jewelry and go by super clean standards.

I only take off my wedding ring or watch if I'm going to get really messy - like with dough and such. But usually I just keep it all on.

I only wear my wedding band, it's not like it can get that messy; I keep it on.

I only wear a wedding band, So I keep em on unless I'm making bread or Pizza, and have to knead dough. Learned the hard way on that one.

I can't stand to get my wedding ring dirty, so I usually take it off when I'm doing something I know will be messy.

putting rings on the watch band is a good idea. i'm terrified of taking off rings because every time i do i somehow lose them.

Anyone change long sleeves before cooking?

I don't take my rings or watch off. Don't see the point. If you keep your cutting boards and such clean, there should be no reason that chicken and such would be contaminated. People worry too much.

I take my jewelry off all the time. Not only will gunk get caught in them, but I just think it's unsanitary. Sure you wash your hands ans stuff but it still strikes me as bad. I always shiver when I see the chefs on TV making food with jewelry on.

I take them off.

Nope. When my husband bought my engagement ring, the jeweler told me to only take off my ring to sleep- and then only put it in the exact same place every night.

It really depends on what I am cooking. If it is gonna get my hands ucky then I take off my engagement band & claddagh. My wedding band NEVER comes off, it is solid so I am not worried about it not coming clean when I wash my hands.

I take my bracelets off when i walk in the kitchen. But my ring stays. i just take the ring of when i have to do dough something.

I take off my engagement ring, but leave on my wedding band.

I do take off my rings if my hands are going to get gunky, same with my watch. But I have a jade bangle that won't come off without using some sort of oil and lots of pain, so that stays on.

If my hands are going into dough or raw meat or something messy, I take my wedding ring off.

i don't wear jewelry generally, but when i'm in the habit of wearing a ring i'll take it off usually.
i think the girl is dropping cabbage in a pan, not tossing a salad.

This is one of the first things learned in any culinary class!

When you wash your hands** you ALWAYS take off your jewelry and also you shouldn't have any nail polish on. Wearing jewelry is just asking for bacteria growth in your food, even if you don't touch it (which most of the time you at least have to cut a vegetable or crack an egg) jewelry is a prime growth area for any kind of bacteria growth and can't be washed properly.

**Letting water get to HOT, roll out paper towel, rinse your hands with the HOT , wash with soap up to your wrists(sing happy birthday 3 times?), don't forget your nails, rinse with the hot water, and dry with already rolled towel

Whoops!

HOT water*

I had my engagement ring built to take hard knocks while still looking pretty. No time to worry about that sort of stuff when the kitchen is a-blazin'.

You should...
