Key points

Knives, fire and children

Sharp knives are used on a stable board, with dry handles, and never caught in mid-air: a falling knife is left to fall. Pan handles are turned inwards, hot oil is never left unwatched, and an oil fire is smothered with a lid, never with water. Children take part with suitable utensils, under constant supervision and away from the hob.

Hygiene and cooking

Clean hands, a clean worktop, separate boards for raw and cooked food: cross-contamination is the most common cause of food poisoning at home. The cold chain is respected from transport to service, meat and poultry are cooked through, and preparations with raw egg or cream stay chilled. Leftovers are cooled quickly, kept refrigerated and reheated only once.

What affects the price
