At one of my jobs the kitchen manager and I are the only people who are unafraid to do things with bare hands.
Just yesterday I was mixing up some macaroni salad (about 100lbs of macaroni salad, no joke) with my bare hands. I think in some ways, with certain dishes, you can tell by touch when you're done, especially with mixing. How am I going to be able to tell that with a spoon or while wearing gloves?
