If you are using a saucepan, where should the handle be facing?
-
Out
-
Over the edge of stove
-
Inwards
-
Over an other hotplate/jet
Correct Answer
A. InwardsExplanation
When using a saucepan, it is advisable to have the handle facing inwards. This is because having the handle facing inwards prevents accidental knocking or bumping of the handle, which could result in the saucepan tipping over and causing spills or burns. By facing the handle inwards, it also reduces the risk of the handle getting heated by another hotplate or jet, ensuring safety while cooking.Rate this question:

On the bench top
-
On a wooden board
-
On the stove top (if its not turned on)
-
Both b & c
Correct Answer
A. Both b & cExplanation
Both options b and c are correct because after taking something out of the oven, you can place it on a wooden board or on the stove top (if it is not turned on). Placing it on a wooden board provides a stable surface for cooling or serving, while placing it on the stove top (if it is not turned on) allows it to continue to cool without coming into contact with any other surfaces or objects.Rate this question:

If you are cooking something with meat, dairy (milk or cream) or eggs in the morning and you want to take it home and share, where should you put it?
-
In the fridge in the home economics area
-
In your locker
-
In the home economics room on the bench
-
In your friends locker
Correct Answer
A. In the fridge in the home economics areaExplanation
The correct answer is to put the food in the fridge in the home economics area. This is because the food contains perishable ingredients like meat, dairy, or eggs, which need to be stored at a low temperature to prevent bacterial growth. Putting it in the fridge ensures that the food stays fresh and safe to consume when it is shared later.Rate this question:

Sharp knifes are more safe than dull ones.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Sharp knives are indeed safer than dull ones. When a knife is sharp, it requires less force to cut through objects, reducing the risk of slipping and causing accidental injuries. In contrast, dull knives require more pressure, increasing the chances of losing control and potentially causing more severe cuts. Additionally, sharp knives provide cleaner and more precise cuts, minimizing the likelihood of accidents. Therefore, it is important to keep knives sharp to ensure safer and more efficient use.Rate this question:

What should you put on a grease fire?
-
Water
-
Baking soda
-
Salt
-
Baking soda and salt
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Baking soda and saltExplanation
Water should not be used to put out a grease fire because it can cause the fire to spread. Baking soda is effective in extinguishing grease fires because it releases carbon dioxide when heated, smothering the flames. Salt can also be used as it helps to absorb the heat from the fire. Using a combination of baking soda and salt provides an even more effective method for extinguishing a grease fire. Therefore, the correct answer is baking soda and salt.Rate this question:

You should wash your hands with warm, soapy water for atleast
-
5 seconds
-
20 seconds
-
30 seconds
-
1 minute
Correct Answer
A. 20 secondsExplanation
The correct answer is 20 seconds because washing your hands with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds is recommended by health experts to effectively remove dirt, germs, and bacteria. This duration ensures that enough time is given to thoroughly clean all areas of the hands, including between fingers, under nails, and the wrists. Washing hands for less than 20 seconds may not be sufficient to adequately eliminate harmful pathogens, while washing for longer durations may not provide any additional benefits.Rate this question:

You can prevent falls in the kitchen by:
-
Keeping the floor clean and clear of clutter
-
Wiping up spills as soon as they happen

A clean and clutter-free floor reduces the risk of tripping, while promptly cleaning up spills prevents slippery surfaces. Additionally, wearing proper footwear, such as non-slip shoes, provides better traction and stability, reducing the chances of slipping and falling. By following all of these recommendations, one can significantly minimize the risk of falls in the kitchen.Rate this question:

A. Inwards toward middle of stoveExplanation
Pot handles should be turned inwards toward the middle of the stove to avoid accidents. This is because when the handles are turned inwards, they are less likely to be accidentally bumped or grabbed, reducing the risk of the pot being knocked over and causing burns or spills. Turning the handles inwards also prevents them from being within easy reach of children, further promoting safety in the kitchen.Rate this question:

The best method(s) to safely thaw frozen meat or poultry:
-
In the refrigerator
-
On the kitchen counter or sink
-
In the microwave
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. In the refrigeratorExplanation
The best method to safely thaw frozen meat or poultry is in the refrigerator. This method allows for a slow and controlled thawing process, minimizing the risk of bacterial growth. Thawing in the refrigerator also helps to maintain the quality and texture of the meat. Thawing on the kitchen counter or sink can lead to uneven thawing and increase the risk of bacterial contamination. Thawing in the microwave is a quicker method, but it may partially cook the outer layers of the meat and result in uneven thawing. Therefore, the refrigerator is the safest option for thawing frozen meat or poultry.Rate this question:

When food is not stored properly it loses:
-
Moisture and flavour
-
Fibre and sodium
-
Glycimides
-
Tenderness
Correct Answer
A. Moisture and flavourExplanation
When food is not stored properly, it can lead to the loss of moisture and flavor. Improper storage conditions, such as exposure to air or incorrect temperature, can cause food to become dry and lose its natural moisture content. This can result in a loss of juiciness and tenderness, ultimately affecting the overall flavor of the food. Proper storage methods, such as using airtight containers or refrigeration, help to retain moisture and preserve the flavor of the food.Rate this question:

It is okay to set a hot glass of liquid on a cold surface.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
It is not okay to set a hot glass of liquid on a cold surface because the sudden change in temperature can cause the glass to crack or shatter. When the hot glass comes into contact with the cold surface, the temperature difference creates stress on the glass, leading to potential breakage. It is recommended to use a coaster or a heat-resistant pad to protect the surface and prevent any damage to the glass.Rate this question:
