Kitchen Safety for Jr. Chefs by Chef Pharrell My Cool Kid Cooks, San Diego, CA

Safely handling raw meats is an important lesson to learn for Jr. Chefs

Teaching our Jr. Chefs to enjoy cooking is important but safety is a priority in the kitchen.  All lessons must begin with a review of safety rules.  Rules for Chefs are like rules for driving, they become second nature; but they keep us safe.

 1.  If you are ill, be courteous and use proper precautions when handling food and drinks.

3.  Clean all veggies and fruit separately from raw meats and poultry  and eggs.  Use separate cutting boards and clean in them in the dishwasher.

4. Always clean items that were in contact with raw meats and eggs immediately after using.

5. No licking mixing spoon or fingers/ use sample spoons only for tasting

6. Check stove top and oven before moving away.

7. Always point handles to the side on stove top to prevent accidental burns and spills.

7. Keep appliances away from sink when operating.

9. Prevent accidental spills by putting ingredients and tools away after using to keep working area clear. 

10. Always have adults close by when working in the kitchen
