1. Store knives in a wooden block or in a drawer. Make sure the knives are out of children's reach. 2. Never cook in loose clothes and keep long hair tied back. Loose clothing can accidentally catch fire and untied hair might end up in food. 3. Never cook while wearing dangling jewelry. A bracelet can get tangled around pot handles and other materials that we will use to cook foods. 4. Keep potholders nearby and use them. Be careful not to leave them near on open flame. 5. Turn pot handles away from the front of the stove. This will help avoid our younger siblings from grabbing the handle and the adults from bumping into the handle. 6. Do not let temperature-sensitive foods sit out in the kitchen. Raw meat , fish, and certain dairy products can spoil quickly, so refrigerate or freeze them right away. 7. Wipe up spills immediately. Keep the floor dry so that no one slips and falls. 8. Separate raw meat and poultry from other items whenever we use or store them. This precaution avoids cross-contamination of harmful bacteria from one food to another. 9. Wash our hands before handling food and after handling meat or poultry. Hands can be a source of bacteria which may be transferred to the food that we are preparing.
