1. Gather all of the ingredients you need before you start cooking.
2. Measure out all dry and liquid ingredients to be sure you have enough of everything before you start.
3. Be very careful with sharp knives. Hold the blade pointing downward. Always use a cutting board.
4. Let young kids do safe and easy preparation tasks, like washing vegetables or sifting flour.
5. Clean as you go. Rinse dishes and place them in the dishwasher and wipe any spills right away.
