Every body know that if u put ur hand/finger into a soup it will become sour. ....

Gynacologist: are u sayin tat our handz are filled up wif bacteria nd fungi?

mstik: Your hands are naturally covered with bacteria. Remember when the soup is cooked, the heat kills of all the bacteria that are possibly in it so when you dip bacteria infested fingers into the so pot, bacteria gets into the soup and they begin their work of decomposing and then by the next morning, it would have spoilt.

OliverPin: Ladies don't let guys finger yall cos there's bacteria and fungi on the finger... #Advice

JABB: Guys forget...if you cook a correct stew with vegetable oil and well fried.....I don't think dippin of hands wuld cause it to sour.just saying....

yousee:
I will like to know the soup that is being cooked at 393 Kelvin.

abdulahi001: This is my thought!!!

When soup is heated, there is vibration between molecules of C-H bond in the oil e.g(palm oil) which weakens the cohesive electrostatic forces between the oil and keep it fairly fermented, therefore retain it's warmness very well, but when opened reverse of the aforesaid is the case.
To me those saying bacteria/fungi are wrong because at a very high temp. of 393K or thereabout, no fungi/bacteria can survive living when trapped inside.

lilTunechi: According to jacques hindleberth, When soup is heated to a certain degree the heat rays evaporates and locks the eminent exposure to the fish or meat inside the pot..... Uhghh, I have no idea what I'm saying.! Sorry

edogho: u saying we wash with dettol before fishing from d pot remember dettol kills bacterials

Atk1nson:
I dn't tink it's just ur finger, even dipping your spoon after a soup has been warmed can spoil it.
My theory- when soup is warmed, a thin layer of oil(frm d palm oil or groundnut oil) covers d surface of d soup. Dat layer of oil keeps bacteria causing spoilage in d air frm easily getting into d soup, however, once u insert ur finger or any oda object, it breaks d oil-layer, making d soup expose to bacteria-filled air, hence d more rapid spoilage.
Test this- open 2 tin tomatoes, use both half way. Cover d surface of one with cooking oil and leave d oda one(control) like dat. D one covered with oil can last for like 5days or more.
It also works for corn beef and sardine

Every body know that if u put ur hand/finger into a soup it will become sour. In fact this is one of the first lesson every nigerian child learns; never put ur hand into the soup pot or it will go sour.
So now am kinda curious, what actually causes sourage In that situation?
Is it that wen ever there is human contact (flesh ) with soup it goes sour or that any disturbance to the surface of a soup after being warmed causes it ?
ur thoughts are welcome

Guy... Update! There are bacteria that can survive that, biko!... Thermophilic ones for that matter... but sha they cant find their way to ur stew... except stew inside active volcanic mountain...so no fear

Jibsonified:

Hmmm... so u go like put dettol as part of ya food ingredients b d@ oo...

and by d way.. no b bacterials... na bacteria

edogho: u saying we wash with dettol before fishing from d pot remember dettol kills bacterials

mstik: you could as well cook with the dettol

marvelling:

Simple! Only two things can make soup spoil: bacteria and fungi. The length of time it takes to spoil depends on the physiochemical properties of the soup, the way its is prepared and how it is stored after preparation.

francleanflexy:
it seems like u dont understand what am trying to say.
When a soup it warmed, it can last through out the night but if some1 puts a finger in the soup it will spoil before morning y ?

tbagjames: Bacteria...ur hands are carriers.

sambisa5: ..


But this is majorly with egusi soup!

If you like put your ten fingers in ogbonno or stew,,,,it doesn't affect it.

mstik: Your hands are naturally covered with bacteria. Remember when the soup is cooked, the heat kills of all the bacteria that are possibly in it so when you dip bacteria infested fingers into the so pot, bacteria gets into the soup and they begin their work of decomposing and then by the next morning, it would have spoilt.

mecussey:

lie lie...even if you use spoon collect sth from the soup, e go still spoil.
