your best weapons soap and water It's a good idea to wash your hands a few times while you're cooking too as the germ troops are known to send in constant reinforcements The calm and perceptive mind of a Jedi warrior will enable you to prevent most mishaps in the kitchen Use it well and follow these general guidelines BE CAREFUL Respect the mysteries of The Force Never run in the kitchen Keep everything pot holders towels packages of ingredients this book away from burners on the stove The stove can be hot even if the burners are all turned off Dry your hands before turning on any electric switch or putting in or pulling out a plug Wash knives and other sharp utensils one at a time Don't drop them in a pan or bucket of soapy water you may cut yourself when you reach in to fish them out Lift lids on hot pots at an angle away from you directing the rising steam away from your face Use only dry pot holders Wet ones will give you a steam burn when you touch the handle of a hot pot Put a pot or pan on the stove before you turn on the heat Turn off the heat before you remove a pot or pan from the stove Never put out a grease fire with water Water causes grease to splatter and can spread the fire very quickly To put out a grease fire smother it with a tight fitting lid or throw handfuls of baking soda onto it BE AWARE Cultivate the awareness of a Jedi Never leave the kitchen while something is cooking on the stove or in the oven Keep pot handles away from the edge of the stove so no one passing by topples the pot Always position pot handles away from other stove burners They'll get hot and burn your when you go to move the pot Remove utensils from hot pots when you're not using them placing them on a plate or spoon holder near the stove Metal spoons and spatulas are especially dangerous because they'll absorb and hold the heat and burn your hand when you go to use them Start with a clean kitchen and keep it clean as you cook When something spills wipe it up immediately to keep accidents from happening If you have time wash dishes as you go Turn off the blender's motor before removing the lid
Put ingredients away when you're finished with them Know where to find the fire extinguisher and be sure it's in working order Keep the fire department number next to the phone The tools of a Wookiee Cookie chef are powerful but simple You probably already have everything in your kitchen Here's an alphabetical list of what you may need EQUIPMENT Aluminum foil Baking dishes Baking sheets Blender Can opener Candy thermometer Cheese grater Colander Cooling rack Cutting board Electric mixer Ice cream scoop Ice-cube tray Knives one large and one small Measuring cups and spoons Mixing bowls of various sizes Paper cups Pastry brush Plastic wrap Popsicle Sticks Potato masher Pot holders Rolling pin Rubber and metal spatulas Saucepans with lids Sieve Sifter Skewers Skillet Star-shaped cookie cutters Tea kettle Toaster oven Toothpicks Vegetable peeler Wax paper Whisk Wooden spoons Use these items with extreme caution Definitely get an adult to assist you any time you need to use them Go forth young Jedi May your Hoth Chocolate be sweet may your Dark Side Salsa be spicy and may the Force always be with you
