Violet's Cooking Tips and Tricks

Hey guys, this is Violet! Today I'm going to share some tips that you can use in the kitchen. 

1. Before making anything that uses the oven or sharp knives and utensils, you should ask a grown-up. Some grown-ups might have rules about what you're aloud to use in the kitchen.
2. Keep yourself clean. Wear an apron to prevent spills on your clothes. Always keep long hair pulled away from your face and if you are wearing long sleeves push them up. Wash your hands with soap and water before you start cooking.
3. Make sure you have everything. Check the recipe to make sure you have all of the ingredients and utensils that you need, before you start cooking.
4. Keep it safe. When taking things out of the oven or off of the stove use pot holders or oven mitts. This will protect you from getting burnt. When cutting, hold the food with your finger nails facing towards the knife and hold the food flat side down. When peeling food,always peel away from your hands.
5. Clean up as you go. Once your done using an ingredient put it away. This will make less of a mess to clean up at the end.

Hope this helps you next time you are cooking!
