Skills and Safety

Attendees will need some basic skills in order to carry out the following recipes. Aim to follow these teaching
points and tips to help encourage safe practice throughout your Cooking Club.

Health and Safety

• Read your setting’s policies on running activities.
• Ensure that you are familiar with the First Aid procedure.
• Always check with your setting for the most relevant advice on Health and Safety, First Aid and Fire Safety.
• Ensure that long hair is tied back.
• Ensure that all consent forms are returned, signed and have the correct details before allowing children to
take part in the activities.

Allergies
• Always check with your setting for the most relevant advice on allergies and policies relating to this.

Chopping and Cutting

• Use the ‘claw’ for chopping. Make a claw with the non-knife hand and place it on the item to be chopped.
Then, chop the item under the bridge that your hand is making.
• Always place items to be chopped on their flattest surface so they do not slip around.
• Cut away from yourself.
• Pre-prepare sliced and chopped food items where possible.

Electric Appliances
• Make sure electrical equipment is kept away from water sources.
• Ensure that plugs are turned off when an appliance is not in use.

Cooking Club: Perfect Pizzas
Hobs, Grills and Ovens
• Ensure that attendees are aware that hobs, grills and ovens become extremely
hot quickly.
• Always supervise attendees when using hobs, grills and ovens.
• Ensure that handles for pots, pans and grills are never hanging over an
edge, to prevent them from being knocked off the surface.

Food Hygiene
• Insist that attendees wash their hands using antibacterial soap before
handling any food or equipment. Ensure that hands are washed between
handling different food items, after a break or trip to the toilet, and especially
between handling cooked and raw food.
• Never allow attendees to lick fingers or spoons, or to taste food while it is being prepared.
• Clean work surfaces using an antibacterial surface cleaner before and after food preparation.
• Any attendee who is ill should not handle food or attend the club until they have fully recovered.
• Any cuts or open wounds should be treated by following the setting’s First Aid policy, and covered using
coloured food safety dressings.
