Allergens
Always verify allergens in every ingredient you use. AI suggestions may not flag every cross-contamination risk.
If you're cooking for someone else, ask about allergies first.
Safe handling
Keep raw and cooked foods separate. Wash hands, surfaces, and produce.
Refrigerate perishables promptly. When in doubt, throw it out.
Cooking properly
Cook meats, poultry, fish, and eggs to safe internal temperatures.
Reheat leftovers thoroughly.
Use common sense
If something looks, smells, or tastes off — stop. Trust your instincts over any recipe or suggestion.
