Sometimes, freshly washed of course!

Definitely! It's so much easier to mix stuff with your hands. Although when I'm in front of company, I use tongs to mix salad.

Yes. But I wash my hands in between everything I touch because I hate the feeling of being dirty.

I do all the time! I toss salad with my hands too, but I add the dressing once its on my plate .

It depends. I use my hands when I bake, especially when I make biscotti or pastries. But as mentioned above, I wouldn't toss a salad with my hands.

It all depends on what I'm making. Er, I don't think I've ever tossed a salad with my hands.

I don't really love getting my hands all mucky, but when I'm making meatloaf or meatballs, there really isn't any better way to mix the ingredients. But I always make sure to take my rings off and wash my hands really well before I start.

yes, I rub and season my meat with my hand . I also toss my salad with my hands too.

Depends on what I'm making, i mostly use my hands and wash all the time. I always take my jewelry off too. I hate watching shows like Paula Deen and such when they don't take off their blasted rings! To me, it's unsanitary :\ yuck.

I always do! I love getting down and dirty. Barefoot Contessa does too.

It really depends on what I'm making. Most of the time, I'd use my hangs, but sometimes I prefer to use a spoon if I don't want my hands to get too messy while with friends. (I sign so I don't want food all over my face! ;) )

This makes me think of the cousin in National Lampoon's Vacation, mixing the kool aid with her hand. I use my hands sometimes, when it makes sense: hamburgers, meatballs, etc.

Yes, especially when tossing fresh veggies in olive oil and seasonings for roasting; that way i know everything's getting well covered and i can just dump them onto the baking sheet when they're ready to go.
