    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    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.

    It is safe to use dull knives when cutting.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    • Cuts

    Correct Answer
    A. Fire
    Explanation
    Leaving a piece of paper or a towel on the stovetop can lead to a fire hazard. When these flammable materials come into contact with the heat from the stovetop, they can easily catch fire and cause a potentially dangerous situation. It is important to always keep flammable items away from heat sources to prevent the risk of fire.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Always wash _____________ and ______________ before cooking in the kitchen.

    Correct Answer
    hands, counters
    Explanation
    It is important to wash both hands and counters before cooking in the kitchen to ensure cleanliness and prevent the spread of bacteria. Washing hands removes any dirt, germs, or contaminants that may be present, while washing counters helps to remove any lingering food particles or bacteria that could contaminate the food being prepared. By washing both hands and counters, proper hygiene and food safety practices are maintained in the kitchen.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    _______________ should be worn while cooking and folded neatly when done.

    Correct Answer
    Aprons
    Explanation
    Aprons should be worn while cooking to protect clothing from spills and stains. They should also be folded neatly when done to maintain cleanliness and organization in the kitchen.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Keep pan handles turned _____________.

    Correct Answer
    inward
    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.
