Basic cooking tips
When preparing meals, a few basic kitchen rules apply. It doesn’t matter what is being cooked, these rules are not only good common sense, they could possibly save a life.
- Don’t be afraid to use your imagination. Experiment with different tastes and textures. You just might create something spectacular.
- Turn pot or pan handles inward so they are not a temptation to curious youngsters eager to see what’s cooking.
- Use proper heat settings for the food being prepared. Seldom is it necessary to cook at the very highest setting.
- Use care with baking recipes. If your recipe calls for ½ teaspoon of baking power, use that specific amount. It could mean success for failure of your project.
- When boiling or steaming foods, use care when removing lids to avoid burns.
- When frying foods, make sure to shield the cook and others from splattering hot oil.
- Wipe up spills immediately.
- Thoroughly clean ovens and stove tops on a regular basis
- Wear clothing with sleeves that cannot drape onto cooking surfaces or into food.
- Never put water on a grease fire. Use salt instead.
- Keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
