Friends! Today I'm going to share with you some tips on how to keep your kitchen clean and food safe while cooking Cantonese cuisine.

For me, cooking is fun, but keeping the kitchen clean and food safe is even more essential.

Let's take a look at how I do it!

1. Clean worktops and kitchenware:

Be sure to clean your worktops and kitchenware before you start cooking.

Wash cutting boards, knives, pots and pans, etc. thoroughly with hot water and detergent to make sure there is no food or bacteria left behind.

I would start by cleaning the kitchen thoroughly to make sure there are no food residues or places for bacteria to grow.

Cutting boards, knives, pots and pans should be thoroughly washed and sanitized so that the food is safe.

2. Separate raw and cooked ingredients:

Be extra careful when handling raw and cooked ingredients.

Use different cutting boards and knives to cut raw and cooked food separately to avoid cross-contamination.

3. Pay attention to the storage of ingredients:

Store raw and cooked ingredients in separate containers to ensure that raw food does not contaminate cooked food.

The refrigerator should be kept clean and tidy, and expired food should be cleaned out regularly. To avoid cross-contamination of ingredients, I would store raw food and cooked food separately.

I will use different containers in the refrigerator to store raw food and cooked food, so as to avoid mutual infection between foods.

4. Hand washing routine:

Washing your hands frequently is essential during the cooking process.

Especially after contact with raw food, it is important to wash your hands thoroughly to avoid the spread of bacteria.

5. Cook ingredients:

Make sure all ingredients are cooked to a safe temperature to avoid food poisoning.

Use a food thermometer to monitor the doneness of food.

6. Avoid Raw Food:

Try to avoid raw or unprocessed ingredients such as raw fish to avoid potential food safety issues.

Whether it's meat or seafood, I make sure they're cooked in place to avoid food poisoning. Using a food thermometer to monitor how cooked your food is is a good way to do this.

7. Organize and clean in time:

Clean up the kitchen in time after cooking is done and wash used kitchenware to avoid bacteria growth.

After the cooking is finished, I will clean the kitchen immediately and wash the used kitchenware and utensils to avoid bacterial growth.

Keeping the kitchen tidy is a long-term habit and a way to ensure food safety.

8. Use safe ingredients:

Purchase fresh ingredients that have a shelf life, and avoid expired or smelly food.

I pay special attention to the freshness and shelf life of ingredients when I shop.

Choosing fresh ingredients not only improves the taste of the dish, but also helps to ensure food safety.

Bebe has this to say:

After I started to pay attention to the tidiness of my kitchen and food safety, my cooking became more organized.

I am able to enjoy cooking and at the same time bring my family delicious and safe Cantonese food.

I hope that these experiences will be helpful to you, so let's **** together to create a clean, safe, and healthy kitchen environment to cook table after table of delicious food for your family!
