adminSOUTH African TikToker @ayanderr shared a video clip showing her older sister washing maguru (tripe), a festive season delicacy, in the washing machine.
The video clip of the cow intestines swirling around in the washing machine has been viewed more than 4.5 million times.
In the video clip, the TikToker says her older sister was too lazy to wash maguru herself, so she put it in the washing machine instead.
People flocked to the comments section of the viral video clip to voice their disdain at this laziness.
Many echoed that this is exactly why one can’t eat at everyone’s house (a jab at the fact that one can’t always trust what someone does in their kitchen).
Why you shouldn’t clean tripe in your washing machine
Well, this should be a no-brainer, but if your washing machine is used to wash your clothes, as it was intended to, there will be traces of washing powder and other bacteria present in the machine, which is not hygienic for food.
Also, tripe has a rather strong smell to it, so unless you are planning on putting your washing machine on the dump after washing your tripe, it’s definitely better to clean your maguru the old-fashioned way.
No-one wants to usher in the new year smelling like cow intestines.
How you should clean your tripe
You have to start by scraping the “dirt” off the tripe with the sharp side of a knife or a hard brush and cutting the visible parts of fat off the meat.
You then need to soak the tripe in water mixed with a bit of vinegar for about 15 minutes before washing it under running water until you are satisfied that it is clean. – Citizen.co.za.
