Rosemarie: vinyl (or latex) gloves--I buy them when Rite Aid has two boxes for the price of one to keep handy under the sink. They started out for working with hot peppers, but now are used to make anything messy a breeze--cutting up raw meat, picking over chicken, peeling & seeding roasted peppers, wet or sprayed with oil for handling messy doughs; anything where gloves would help but household gloves wouldn't do. When you're done, grab the edge, peel off wrong-side-out, and throw in the trash. The mess is contained, and it won't take forever getting your hands clean.
