Kitchen Safety I Ep. 2 I Community Kitchen Teachables

Welcome to the second episode of Teachables! Join Anna and some of the rest of the Calgary's Cooking team as they walk us through important and pertinent information regarding cooking and the kitchen! In this episode, Anna explains the steps to ensure kitchen cleanliness for you and your family. We look forward to providing more information that will help cooks in the kitchen, both amateur to professional!

Key Takeaways

  • Reminder to start with washing your hands with warm soapy water, remove jewellery, put on gloves, clean and unclutter the work surface, and wipe down with your choice of soap or sanitizer.

  • Put a grip or damp cloth underneath the cutting board to avoid slipping while cutting.

  • Working around a hot stove top, turn your pot handles away from you to avoid hitting or tipping.

  • Wear oven mitts that are in good condition and aren’t too big for you. When operating the oven, put the door all the way down, then put the cooked dish on a cooling rack. Tip the pot away from you when draining.

  • Clean walkways within the kitchen to avoid tripping.
