As a food safety and hygiene expert, I can provide you with some key practices to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the kitchen.


1. Regular Cleaning: Clean surfaces, appliances, and utensils after each use to prevent the buildup of food residue and bacteria.

2. Proper Hand Washing: Wash hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before handling food, after touching raw meat or eggs, and after using the restroom.

3. Separate Cutting Boards: Use different cutting boards for raw meats, poultry, and seafood to avoid cross-contamination.

4. Cooking Temperatures: Ensure food is cooked to the correct internal temperature to kill harmful bacteria.

5. Food Storage: Store raw meats, poultry, and seafood on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator to prevent their juices from dripping onto other foods.

6. Disinfecting Surfaces: Regularly disinfect high-touch surfaces like countertops, door handles, and light switches.
7.
Waste Disposal: Dispose of food waste promptly and keep the trash area clean to prevent pests.

By following these practices, you can maintain a hygienic kitchen environment that is safe for food preparation.
