RULES FOR SAFE AND FUN COOKING 1. NEVER LEAVE THE BOYS UNSUPERVISED WHILE COOKING ANYWHERE! 2. Everyone must wash their hands with soap before beginning. Wash hands with warm water and soap again after handling raw meat, poultry or eggs. 3. Wear an apron to protect clothing and a hat to keep hair out of food. 4. Plan the recipe(s) ahead of time and have all of the ingredients gathered before the boys arrive. 5. Have each boy read the recipe thoroughly. 6.
