What should you do with long sleeves and hair when cooking?

• A. Roll up long sleeves and tie back long hair.
• B. Leave sleeves loose and let hair hang loose.
• C. Wear a scarf and short sleeves.
• D. Keep hair in a bun only if it’s clean.

Answer: (A)

Keeping loose fabric and hair away from heat and food is essential for kitchen safety. Long sleeves can catch on flames or snag on equipment, and loose hair can fall into food or catch fire. Rolling up sleeves reduces heat exposure and splatter, while tying back long hair keeps strands from contaminating dishes and from getting burned. The other options introduce unnecessary risks or extra steps: loose sleeves or hair pose contamination and injury risks, a scarf isn’t a standard safe practice in most kitchens, and hair should be restrained regardless of cleanliness.
