When we make food in our kitchens, we often make mistakes that sometimes you can’t even see. Some mistakes can make your dish give people food poisoning, or you may hurt yourself, so it’s important to know the mistakes and how to fix them.
The first concept is cross-contamination, where different food groups like raw meat and vegetables touch, which puts bacteria from one food onto another. It’s important to store your food in different places in your cupboard or fridge and use separate chopping boards while preparing.
Next up is knife skills, which are very important as most dishes do require you to use a knife for chopping. It’s important to keep your fingers away from the sharp blade and always point the tip downwards towards your feet while carrying it.
While cooking certain things, your food can heat to high temperatures, but some unwanted things can too. Make sure that your pan handles are pointed away from the hob and always keep an eye on food while it’s heating up or cooking.
Making the right decisions in a kitchen can be hard, but if you practice and learn from your mistakes, you can become a great cook.
