How do teens learn to cook safely?

Young cooks gain confidence fastest with simple dishes, clear instructions and good habits. The FDA safe food handling guidance guide outlines four steps: clean, separate, cook and chill. Washing hands, keeping raw and ready-to-eat foods apart, cooking foods properly and refrigerating leftovers promptly cover most risks.

Teens also need enough energy and nutrients while growing, so snacks and desserts count. Include protein foods such as beans, eggs, tofu or nuts, whole grains, and a vegetable or fruit at each meal, and think about iron and calcium sources if you avoid meat or dairy.

Knife skills deserve a lesson from an adult: use a stable board, keep fingers curled and cut away from your body. Ask an adult before using the oven or hob the first time. If you have food allergies, read labels carefully every time.
