Keep pan handles turned _____________.

Explanation
Keeping pan handles turned inward is important for safety reasons. When the handles are turned inward, it reduces the risk of accidentally knocking or grabbing the handle, which could result in the pan tipping over and causing burns or spills. This practice also helps to prevent children or pets from accidentally pulling on the handle and causing an accident. By keeping the handles turned inward, it promotes a safer cooking environment and reduces the chances of accidents occurring in the kitchen.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Using dull knives when cutting is not safe. Dull knives require more force to cut through food, increasing the risk of slipping and potentially causing injuries. Additionally, the extra force needed with a dull knife can lead to less control, making it more difficult to cut accurately. On the other hand, sharp knives provide clean cuts, require less force, and are generally safer to use in the kitchen.

This statement advises against reusing any utensil or towel that has been dropped on the floor without washing it first. This is because when an item falls on the floor, it can come into contact with dirt, bacteria, or other harmful substances that can contaminate the item. Therefore, to maintain cleanliness and hygiene, it is important to wash the utensil or towel before using it again.
