At-home food preparation without professional training or equipment can still be safely accomplished by following basic guidelines. To ensure food safety, it’s important to use clean surfaces and containers, separate raw and cooked foods, follow cooking instructions properly, keep food at the correct temperatures, sanitize anything that comes into contact with food, and discard any leftover foods after five days. Additionally to maintain proper hygiene standards it is best to wear appropriate clothing (long sleeves & a hair net are recommended), wash hands frequently throughout the process and avoid cross-contamination of different foods when possible.

At home, you can prepare food safely with proper hygiene standards without professional training or equipment by following basic steps. Firstly, make sure to always wash your hands with soap and water before handling food. Secondly, clean all surfaces and cutting utensils with soapy water before preparing food. Also ensure the correct temperatures for storing or reheating prepared meals.

In addition, be aware of ingredients’ expiration dates and spoiled foods. Lastly use common sense in preventing cross-contamination from raw to cooked foods and practice portion control to minimize leftovers which can spoil quickly.
