Read the whole recipe several times and make sure you really understand it. Follow the recipe exactly.
Always work
Before starting, wash your hands with soap and water. Wash your hands again after you handle raw meat, eggs or fish. Always wash your hands before you eat and after you go to the bathroom.
Be sure to use a clean knife, spoon or fork. Don't just pick one up from the counter or kitchen sink.
Don't sneeze or cough on food. Keep hands away from your face and hair and pets. If you touch your pet, wash your hands before touching food again.
Wear clean clothes or a clean apron. Keep the cooking area clean as you cook. If you spill something, quickly wipe it up.
When touching foods with your hands, do not to lick your fingers or put a finger in
