What are the safety and hygiene practices in the kitchen
Answer:
Maintain the general cleanliness of the kitchen by:
Disposing of food scraps properly and removing crumbs
Wiping counters clean with soap and water and sanitize with a disinfectant
Sweeping and wet mopping floors to remove food
Cleaning all surfaces, including counter tops, faucets, handles and knobs, refrigerator handles, stoves/ovens, other appliances, etc.
Use good cleaning and storage techniques to reduce the chance of food borne illnesses. The highest levels of contamination are found in areas that are damp, such as kitchen sponges, dishcloths, sink drains, and faucet handles.
Answer:
-Wear a clean apron.
-Wear closed-in shoes to protect your feet, in case of hot spills or breakages.
-Wash your hands before and after handling food.
– tie back long hair.
-Store food appropriately.
-wash vegetables and fruit
-Do not run around the room where food is being prepared.
-Wipe up food spills immediately.
-Handle knives and other sharp equipment with care.
-When using a knife, always cut away from yourself or downwards on a chopping board to avoid cutting yourself.
-Turn handles of saucepans away from the front of the stove when cooking.
-Use oven mitts when taking hot dishes from the oven or microwave.
-Wash kitchen and eating utensils after use in hot soapy water. Wash the cleanest dishes first, and then the messiest dishes last, so you don’t have to change the dishwater as often.
