Bobby Flayis one of America's most famous chefs, and he knows his way around a kitchen. But the Food Network star recently revealed that he doesn't follow all the food rules, and some of the things he revealed during a recent quickfire Q&A gave commenters plenty to talk about.
The Food Network foodie was promoting his latest show, Bobby's Triple Threat, which began a third season last month, while answering a series of questions shared to Food Network's TikTok.
It started off easy, as Flay was asked if he adds oil to boiling water when he makes pasta. His non-controversial answer was, "I do not."

Most cooks know that you actually shouldn't add oil to the water. It was once touted as a method to keep the pot from boiling over. But really, it just coats the noodles, preventing sauce from sticking to them the way it should. No one batted an eye at that answer, but what came next definitely got viewers talking.
@foodnetworkdo you agree with @Bobby Flay’s takes on these controversial cooking questions? #BobbysTripleThreat
♬ original sound - Food NetworkFlay was asked, "Do you wash your chicken?"
He confessed, "I wash my chicken before I cook it."
Then, when asked if he rinses his rice, the celebrated chef confidently said, "I do not."
The USDA does not recommend washing chicken before cooking it because it increases the chance of spreading bacteria in the kitchen and cross-contaminating other foods.
When it comes to rinsing rice, it's not as serious, but it's still generally considered a faux pas to ignore this step and dump rice straight into water to cook it. Consumer Reportsexplains that the reason for rinsing rice is to remove excess starch, dust, and dirt from the grains, which will result in fluffier cooked rice.
Flay also answered that cats were allowed in the kitchen when asked about animals, which certainly had some fans in their feelings.

It took no time for the Food Network post's comments to fill up with surprised fans, who questioned Flay's methods. One wrote, "Doesn't wash rice but DOES wash chicken? Oh brother."
Someone else declared, "Cats in the kitchen instantly makes everything he said invalid."
Another questioned, "is this wrong answers only?"
Someone else agreed, writing, "The fact that he allows cats in the kitchen is wild."
Yet another took offense to something that didn't even seem controversial. When asked if you should ever use pre-minced garlic, Flay said "No," and one of the TikTok commenters took major offense, writing, "This is legit what made me not like Bobby Flay. Not a damn thing wrong with Jarlic."
