Lakeview Hub » Kitchen Safety Essentials Workshop

The Lakeview Hub is focusing on food for April and will offer employment services and food-focused workshops at 799 Douglas Street every Wednesday. The first of our fun, interactive one-hour workshops will begin on April 9, from 10:30 to 11:30 at the Hub. It will kick off with a "Kitchen Safety Essentials" workshop; as part of the series, the Hub will also offer workshops on food literacy and finding affordable groceries.

All of these workshops are free, but please register in advance to save your spot so we can ensure we have enough resources for everyone. Registration can be completed through this form.

Kitchen safety is crucial for reducing injuries and food contamination. Here are some things to think about when in the kitchen:

Use Mitts or Gloves: Use insulated materials designed to handle hot metals. A tea towel might not be enough to keep your hand from burning. .

Turn Pot Handles: A pot handle on a stove can get knocked and spill. Turning the stove top pot handles toward the back reduces the risk of spills and fire.

Microwave Dos and Don’ts: Don’t put any form of metal in the microwave, including tinfoil.

Learn Fire Preparedness - Knowing how to respond to various types of kitchen fires is crucial.

During the Kitchen Safety Essentials Workshop, we will cover:

· Personal Safety & Hygiene

· Fire & Heat Safety

· Food Safety & Sanitation
