Cooking, baking, smoking, frying, and food preservation involve real risks including burns, cuts, raw meat and seafood contamination, oil fires, and pressure-cooker accidents. You are responsible for following safe food-handling practices including:

  • Refrigerating perishables promptly.
  • Washing hands and surfaces after handling raw food.
  • Operating smokers, grills, and fryers in well-ventilated outdoor areas with a working fire extinguisher nearby.
