Kids Kitchen Safety
No sharp knives for small children. Keep them out of reach
and out of sight.
Teach children that the stove is hot! Even when turned off,
it should not be touched or played around.
Make sure all handles on pots and pans are turned inward.
Cook
hot soup or hot food on a back burner if possible.
Teach children about proper sanitation of foods. Use clean
hands. When done cooking, wash hands again. Clean counter tops and
dishes well after cooking, to prevent contamination of foods. Always
clean items that were in contact with raw meats and eggs immediately
after using.
No licking mixing spoon or fingers -sample when it is done
cooking.
Always turn off stove top and oven when done.
Keep appliances away from water.
Don’t put cooked food on a plate or surface that had raw
foods on it.
Put ingredients back after using. (Makes clean up easier also)
Always use supervision.
Give a kitchen tour of what is safe and not safe. Tell them
what is not to be touched and any other advice for your kitchen.

Rules of the Kitchen
Cleanliness. Teach about food sanitation and cleaning up
while you are cooking and after cooking.
Always use Kitchen Safety.
Read through any recipe you are using. Double check you have
all ingredients available.
Patience (FOR PARENTS ALSO). There will be spills and the
finished product might look unappealing but relax and realize the
learning that is happening with your child. Making a mess or spilling
is going to happen and if we lose patience, they will be fearful of not
doing it "right."
Praise. Help
their self esteem by praising a job well done!
