Friends! Today I want to share with you some tips on keeping your kitchen tidy and food safe when cooking Cantonese cuisine.
For me, cooking is a pleasure, but keeping the kitchen clean and food safe is even more essential.
Let’s see how I did it!
1. Clean the work surface and kitchen utensils:
Be sure to clean the work surface and kitchen utensils before starting cooking.
Use hot water and dish soap to wash cutting boards, knives, pots, etc. thoroughly to make sure there is no residual food or bacteria.
I will first clean the kitchen thoroughly to make sure there are no food residues or places where bacteria can breed.
Chopping boards, knives, pots, etc. must be thoroughly washed and disinfected to ensure food safety.
2. Cut raw and cooked ingredients separately:
Be extremely careful when handling raw and cooked ingredients.
Use separate cutting boards and knives to cut raw and cooked foods separately to avoid cross-contamination.
3. Pay attention to food storage:
Raw food and cooked food should be stored in different containers to ensure that raw food does not contaminate cooked food.
Keep the refrigerator clean and tidy, and remove expired food regularly. To avoid cross-contamination of ingredients, I store raw and cooked foods separately.
I will use different containers to store raw food and cooked food in the refrigerator to avoid mutual infection between foods.
4. Hand washing routine:
During the cooking process, frequent hand washing is essential.
Especially after handling raw food, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly to avoid the spread of germs.
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 eating raw or unprocessed ingredients, such as sashimi, etc., to avoid potential food safety issues.
Whether it’s meat or seafood, I make sure it’s cooked properly to avoid food poisoning. Using a food thermometer is a good way to monitor the doneness of food.
7. Organize and clean in time:
After cooking, clean the kitchen in time and wash used kitchen utensils to avoid bacterial growth.
After cooking, I will clean the kitchen immediately and wash the used kitchen utensils and tableware to avoid the growth of bacteria.
Keeping the kitchen tidy is a long-term habit and a way to ensure food safety.
8. Use safe ingredients:
Purchase ingredients that are fresh and have a shelf life, and avoid using expired or smelly foods.
When I buy ingredients, I pay special attention to their freshness and shelf life.
Choosing fresh ingredients can not only improve the taste of the dishes, but also help ensure food safety.
Beibei has something to say:
After I started paying attention to the cleanliness and food safety of the kitchen, my cooking became more orderly.
I was able to enjoy cooking while also bringing delicious and safe Cantonese food to my family.
I hope these experience sharing will be helpful to everyone. Let us work together to create a clean, safe and healthy kitchen environment and cook table after table of delicious dishes for our families!
