Kitchen Safety Avoiding Burns To avoid burns, use thick, dry pot holders. Wet pot holders will allow the heat to soak through. Coding Appliances Put a different colored dot of nail polish on each electrical cord of multiple appliances sharing the same outlet. Dousing Kitchen Fires If you have a grease fire, never use water to put it out, because it will spread the fire. One way to smother a grease fire is to sprinkle baking soda over the fire. Also, remember to keep a tight fitting lid for your pan close by, so you can cover the pan if a flame erupts. Leave the lid in place until the pan cools. Always keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, and learn how to use it before a fire occurs. Keeping the Kitchen Sanitary Whenever handling food, the utmost care must be taken not to spread germs and bacteria. Always wash your hands before AND AFTER handling any kind of raw meat. Also clean off all areas that the raw meat has come in contact with. This is ESPECIALLY important when handling poultry. Wash down everything with hot soapy water, then follow with an antibacterial cleanser. You can not be too careful in your handling of food. Piercing Food When cooking foods with any form of a skin or membrane, they should be pierced beforehand to prevent splattering. Steam builds up inside the food during cooking. Eggs, potatoes and hot dogs are good examples. Stove Top Safety Make sure to turn the handles of the pans in,so they don’t stick out over the edge of the stove. Also make sure they aren’t over other burners. Tangled Cords? Use empty toilet paper rolls to store appliance cords in. It keeps them neat, and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to...no more searching for the right cord. Two Cutting Boards Have two cutting boards. One for raw meats and the other for ready to eat foods. Wash Hands Wash your hands often in warm soapy water before, during and after you prepare your meal. When In Doubt When in doubt that leftover food is good, throw it out. |
