Kitchen
Safety Checklist: |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Check
with Mum or Dad you are allowed to cook. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Wash
your hands with warm soapy water before you start. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
It
is a good idea to wear an apron to stop any yucky bits getting
on your clothes. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
In
the kitchen you need to protect your feet so always wear
shoes that are covered in, just in case you spill boiling
liquid or drop something like a heavy saucepan. Knives can
also be very dangerous; no-one wants their toes stabbed! |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Speaking
of knives, only use them if Mum and Dad have given you permission.
Don’t forget to keep any sharp utensils
out of the reach of your younger brothers or sisters. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Never
put sharp knives into a sink of water – can you imagine
what would happen if you dive your hands into a sink full
of soapy water? You can’t see the knives are in the
water so you can easily cut yourself... ouch! When you are
washing knives always turn the sharp side away from your
fingers. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Chopping
boards sometimes wobble around and are dangerous to cut
on with a sharp knife because they can slip. Place a damp
dishcloth or tea towel under the chopping board to make
a more stable surface to chop on. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Always
get an adult to assist you put anything into, or take anything
out of, the oven, and always wear oven mitts to protect
your hands from being burnt. Never ever use a damp tea towel
as the heat from the pans or trays will be easily transferred
through the tea towel and burn your hands. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Cooking
on a hotplate demands good safety rules: |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Saucepan
handles left sticking out will soon get knocked over when
people walk past the hotplate so make sure the handles are
all turned inwards. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
When
you are stirring something always make sure to hold the
handle to keep the saucepan stable, and use an oven mitt
if the handle is too hot. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Tea
towels or cloths can catch fire easily, especially near
gas hotplates, so be careful to keep them away from heat.
Use oven mitts for lifting hot things. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Never
put HOT saucepans, cake pans/tins or biscuit trays
onto the kitchen bench – Mum or Dad will not be happy
if the bench gets burnt. Always put hot things onto a heat
proof stand. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Never
ever use electrical appliances near water as they can electrocute
you, and never ever have wet hands. Always dry your hands
well before starting to cook. |
