Technique: A Note on Food Safety

Everyone starts somewhere, so a few things to keep in mind:

• Keep your hands, tools, and working area clean when not in use
• Wash produce thoroughly before handling
• Avoid gesturing with blades in hand - it's dangerous!
• Wash hands immediately after handling raw meats to avoid cross-contaminating surfaces
• Be aware of porous surfaces and materials that may harbor pathogens
• Ensure your kitchen is well-ventilated when cooking noxious ingredients
• Update smoke detectors or fire extinguishers regularly

Good luck all. I look forward to sharing with you.
