In Meals in Minutes: Kitchen & Food Safety, viewers will watch as Stevie and, uh, Stevie make a meal consisting of spaghetti and meatballs, a salad, and an apple crisp, using both the right and wrong approaches. Featuring a split screen, this informative how-to follows “Do” Stevie as he preps the meal alongside “Don't” Stevie, with relevant do and don't tips appearing onscreen. While many of the procedures here—involving hygiene, knife techniques, proper food storage, cross-contamination, stovetop/oven safety, and clean-up—rely on simple common sense, it's worth being reminded of these precautions, as most kitchen accidents result from minor mistakes or just not paying attention. A creatively presented, non-narrated program that will be a boon to young cooks in the kitchen, this is recommended. Aud: I, J, H, P. (E. Gieschen)
