SAFETY FIRST
* Always let a grown-up watch you cook.
* Always point the handles of pots towards the center of the stove.
* Never leave the kitchen when something is cooking.  You never know what could happen!
* Stand way back from foods that are frying on the stove top - they could spatter and give you a grease burn.
* If you spill something on the floor, clean it up right away so you don't slip.
* Walk with a knife down by your side, not out.  What if you trip?
* If you drop a knife, don't try to catch it.  You might grab it by the wrong end!
* Use electric appliances away from water.
* If you're walking with a hot pot in your hands, say "HOT" to warn others not to bump you.
* If you burn yourself, run cold water over the burn as soon as possible and tell your grown-up.
    * Wash hands with hot soapy water often.
    * Don't eat raw eggs.
    * Use oven mitts to handle hot pots.
    * Cook food to a safe temperature.  Use a food thermometer to check the temperature.
* Don't let raw meat touch any other foods.  Use a different cutting board for the raw meat.
* Don't lick your fingers, rub your eyes, or sneeze on the food when you're cooking.
* You'll love this one - clean as you go so you don't have a BIG mess to clean afterwards!
