QUIZ START

#1. What is the best way to keep a half-cut avocado from turning brown in the fridge?

Leave the pit in and wrap it tightly against the flesh with plastic wrap

Soak it in water

Bake it first

Cover it in salt

Oxygen is the enemy. The pit blocks oxygen from reaching the center, and the plastic wrap acts as a physical barrier for the rest of the exposed flesh.

#2. Why should you never use a damp oven mitt to take a hot pan out of the oven?

It ruins the fabric

It cools the pan down too quickly

It makes the pan slippery

Water conducts heat incredibly fast and will cause a severe steam burn

A dry mitt insulates your hand. A wet mitt instantly turns that moisture into scalding steam when it touches hot metal.

#3. How can you easily peel fresh ginger root without wasting the good parts?

Boil it first

Use a large chef's knife

Scrape it gently with the edge of a spoon

Use a vegetable peeler

A spoon easily navigates the bumpy, tough contours of ginger root, scraping away only the paper-thin skin without cutting into the flesh.

#4. How frequently should you replace or sanitize your kitchen sponges?

Once a year

Once a month

When they fall apart

Every 1 to 2 weeks

Sponges are porous and stay damp, making them the #1 breeding ground for bacteria in the entire house.

#5. When handling raw pork or chicken, what must you do immediately after?

Rinse with plain cold water

Use hand sanitizer only

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water for 20 seconds

Wipe your hands on an apron

Soap breaks down the protective membrane of bacteria and viruses, physically lifting them off your skin so they can be washed down the drain.
