Why Tie Hair Back in the Kitchen?

What Crafty Clover says in this video

Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. Why tie hair back in the kitchen?

The Big Idea

We tie hair back in the kitchen so it stays out of the food and away from heat! Loose hair can fall into a meal or swing near flames and hot burners. Tying it back keeps food clean and keeps you safer, so it is a rule for every cook.

Hair Sheds

Step one: hair sheds. Everyone loses a few hairs every day, and that is perfectly normal. If you lean over a bowl or pot, a loose hair can fall right into the food.

Germs on Hair

Step two: germs on hair. Hair and scalp carry tiny microbes. Tying hair back, and washing hands if you touch it, keeps them out of the meal.

Heat and Flames

Step three: heat and flames. Long hair can swing close to a hot burner or gas flame and catch fire, which is very dangerous. Tied hair stays out of the way, and so do loose sleeves.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look at being kitchen ready! Tie your hair back with a band or clip. Wash your hands with soap. Roll up long sleeves. And put on an apron.

Quick Facts

Quick facts! Hair rules are food rules. Chefs wear hats or hairnets for the same reason, even when their hair is short. Wash your hands again if you touch your hair. Always cook with a grown-up nearby.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist! Add a kitchen hair band to your cooking kit. Keep it in the same place as your apron. Then you will always be ready. Then you will always be ready.
