Cross contamination

October 11, 2025

Cross contamination is very important to teach especially those dealing in food corporations, I never knew 60% of Americans/ people do not wash their hands after going to the bathroom, disgusting. Honestly I learned many things from this lesson, and I learned how properly cook meats or prepare them for cooking!

First Time-not bad

October 11, 2025

I like that you can take a break and come back. Not sure how long you can stay away, just a rest room and soda break. It’s lengthy but step away a bit it’s not bad. the test is easy. A lot is common sense.
