BOILING (4 of 4)
Hospitality and Catering
SAFETY WITH BOILING
• Too small a cooking pan will boil over and splash. Image showing deep boiling pan highlighting safety aspect when boiling
• Move pans of boiling liquid carefully.
• Position handles of pots so that they do not overheat or protrude from the stove.
• The splashing of boiling liquid can be avoided with the careful removal of foods from their cooking pots.
• Boiling liquids can present a danger when carried or whilst boiling is in process.
• All equipment should be cleaned after use and dried well. Stale water can be the cause of contamination.
• Handles as I have already indicated must be secure at all times. - It only takes a second to injure yourself or a colleague.
gENERAL POINTS
• Liquid should simmer and not boil - this will minimise shrinkage and evaporation. • Skim frequently during cooking.
