Head Chef Notes
Sorry the last email had an incorrect link you can download the safety chart below, now!I wanted to send out a quick reminder of how to keep your children safe in the kitchen.
Don't miss the free pdf safety chart link in this email also.
So here are some things to keep in mind when you cook with your kids:
- Always supervise young children and older children who are still inexperienced in the kitchen.
- Don't leave knives, breakable items and other potential dangers within reach of young children. They can use a butter knife to cut soft items.
- Always operate the oven or stove yourself; don't let young children do it. Keep toddlers and preschoolers a safe distance away when you open the oven.
- Have a fire extinguisher on hand. Teach your kids how to stop, drop and roll in case they catch fire (they should know this anyway, whether they cook or not).
- Use safety tools, such as kitchen gloves, and an apron, to protect skin and clothing. Also, wear short sleeves or roll long sleeves up securely.

These are just some tips to ensure kitchen safety when cooking with children. These will soon be second nature to you, and you can focus on having fun in the kitchen with your kids.
Of course, cooking with children is much easier and more fun when you're well prepared and have everything you need beforehand.
If you need help getting your meal plans and grocery lists organized try Meal Planning Ideas. I also recommend Dine Without Whine's menu planning and grocery lists because they can help you get organized. You can try their service for only a penny. Then decide if it's a treat you'd like to keep enjoying, or if you'd rather keep doing the hard work yourself. You can try Dine Without Whine for only a penny through this link.
