After class today, a participant and I got into a conversation about kids and teaching them about food prep. It is a skill we all need to learn and yet, how do you teach kids especially when they have autism. Along with the special knives that are made for kids to learn with, you could also get them stainless steel safety gloves.
I’ve heard too many horror stories of people losing the tips of their fingers while using a mandolin. You’ll feel much safer if you wear a safety glove. (But don’t get careless just because you’re wearing safety gloves. Accidents can still happen.) Stainless steel mesh safety gloves can be found on amazon from $20 – $100.
