Deacons and installed acolytes are ordinary ministers as well and their hands aren't consecrated.   And I don't think that priests are really consecrated either, a priest is ordained and the anointing of his hands with chrism is a part of the ordination liturgy, not a consecration.  Besides, at our baptisms we are anointed as well, and then again at confirmation.  I believe that means we too are consecrated as well.  The Eucharist was made for humanity, not humanity for the Eucharist.
