1. Keep them away from hot ovens, hot pots and pans.
2. Children need to be reminded about hygiene when handling food. They need to wash their hands and wear an apron to help protect their clothes.
3. Very young children should not be allowed to use sharp knives. Once a child is old enough to start chopping and cutting up food then a table knife is appropriate.
4. Handle kitchen utensils properly. Take the time to explain how each product works, as it’s needed for each recipe.
5. Have all the ingredients set out on the counter before starting to cook.
6. Choose a simple recipe to start and explain the abbreviations such as TSP (teaspoon) and TBSP (tablespoon) and the importance of always reading the recipe through before starting to prepare the dish.
7. Get them into the habit of cleaning up as they go so there is no big mess left to clean up at the end.

Enjoy !!
