KITCHEN SAFETY
Safety Thumbs
Put your Thumbs Up if it is SAFE.
Put your Thumb Down if it is NOT SAFE.
Clean up spills after you have finished preparing a meal.
A sharp knife is safer than a dull one.
When slicing foods, slice them on a cutting board or
cutting mat.
Pan handles should be turned outwards from the stove top range so they are easy to grab when you are cooking.
Direct steam away from your body when
lifting up a lid.
Use cold water to put out a grease fire.
Putting butter on a minor burn is the best treatment.
When peeling or cutting foods like
vegetables, cut away from the body.
Whenever possible, use a metal spoon for stirring foods being cooked on the range
top.
A wet potholder works as well as a dry
one.
Keep drawers and cupboards open
during cooking for easy access.
Rinse dishes with cold water.
Set hot pots and pans on the counter top to
cool.
When using an electric mixer, turn it
on only when it’s down in the food you
are mixing.
If you cut yourself, apply pressure with a cloth and elevate the
cut immediately.
The first thing you should do in the case of an emergency is
call 9-1-1.
Julie’s Hazards
Washing Dishes
Step 1: Scrape food off dishes
Put the food in the garbage.
Step 2: Pre-rinse Dishes
Get any large food chunks
Step 3: Stack dishes in groups
Groups dishes by plates, silverware, pots, knives, etc.
Step 4: Wash by groups in HOT soapy water. Start with the cleanest items first such as
silverware, plates, and other dishes. This will keep your water cleaner longer. Save the pots and pans for last.
Step 5: Rinse in HOT water.
Make sure you get ALL of the soap off of the dishes. If you don’t, it makes people sick.
Step 6: Dry & put away dishes.
Carefully dry the dishes. Put them in their proper place so they can easily be found.
Other Dish Washing Tips: Let dirty pots and pans soak in hot water to
make scrubbing easier. Start with one sink of hot soapy water, use the
other side for rinsing. Use the HOTTEST water your hands can stand. Knives should be washed separately. NEVER drop
knives into soapy water– someone could get cut! Sticky peanut butter and shortening should be
rinsed with HOT water first, then scrubbed with hot soapy water.
