We begin our French cooking basics video series with this class on health and safety in the home kitchen.
Always remember that in a kitchen and any risk environment, your safety and the safety of others around you always have to be the number one priority
Quick tips:
When carrying knives always keep the point down to the ground never in front of you
When moving hot foods in pots and pans tray always tell people. Yes you can shout hot, hot, hot
If you smell gas always check the stove
If oil or soap liquid spills on the floor it can cause a nasty slip, trip or fall accident. Clean it up with hot water immediately
Always keep floors clear and dry at all times
Don’t throw broken glass in the rubbish without wrapping it up
Never plug or unplug electrical cords with wet hands
Do not take a hot glass dish from the oven and put on a wet surface or in cold water.
Never overload your electrical circuits
Always check equipment before leaving at nights. Make sure the stove, the grill and whatever else is there is turned off.
