During this time, kids should stay out of the kitchen until their lesson starts. Parents should also keep a first aid kit in the kitchen in case someone hurts themselves. They&#8217;ll want to move harmful things out of reach, like sharp knives or loose cords. Young kids might try to use or taste things, like <a href=\"https:\/\/grillio.com\/blog\/different-types-of-beer\/\">adult drinks<\/a> or cleaning supplies, that can hurt or even kill them. That&#8217;s why parents should also lock away or move these things so that they are hard to reach.<\/p>\n<p>In preparing a kitchen for cooking with kids, parents may even wish to prepare some ingredients ahead of time so they can focus on having a safe but fun time.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; row_position_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; flex_gap_desktop=&#8221;10px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1655139391861{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Wash Your Hands!<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;3357&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; animation_easing=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1672337980469{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1000&#8243;]\n<p>Dirty hands carry bad germs. If these germs get on food or surfaces in the kitchen, they can make everyone sick. That&#8217;s why proper hand washing is so important. Before touching anything that has to do with cooking, wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. Clean beneath each fingernail and wash up to the elbows.

These rules are so important because they help prevent dangerous accidents and injuries. When parents go over these rules, pay attention and always follow them. Two of the most important kitchen rules are to never take risks and ask for help if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of kitchen rules are about knives. Never grab, carry, or handle knives without permission from a parent or adult. Only use them and other sharp objects when supervised by an adult.<\/p>\n<p>Follow your parents&#8217; rules about the stove and oven. Depending on your age, do not touch them unless supervised and given permission. If given permission to use the stove, be careful not to get burned or scalded! Turn all pot handles inward and don&#8217;t touch anything on the stove, on an indoor grill, or in the microwave with bare hands. These things can be hot and cause terrible burns.<\/p>\n<p>When cooking or handling raw meat, always wash up. Raw food has a lot of bacteria that are easily spread around the kitchen and make people sick. Never lick and reuse utensils or taste-test food with your fingers. If tasting food, use a new, clean utensil each time or wait until the food has finished cooking.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; row_position_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; flex_gap_desktop=&#8221;10px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1655139468093{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Wear Proper Attire<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;3352&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; animation_easing=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1672338016629{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1000&#8243;]\n<p>While in the kitchen, it&#8217;s important to dress the part. That means wearing clothes that are clean, not too loose, or long-sleeved. Long sleeves and baggy clothes can get in the food or catch fire. Wear clothing that fits and has short sleeves. Wearing an apron will keep food splatter off of clean clothes. Another thing that shouldn&#8217;t get in food is hair. Make sure to tie it back so that it, and the food, stays clean.<\/p>\n<p>Bare feet are also a no-no in the kitchen. If hot liquid spills, it can burn your feet and if a knife falls, it can cut your toes. Both will hurt badly!
