In the first year, consider your kitchen as a contaminated place. There is dust in the air. The oven fan probably has flour in it. It is just easier to pretend that it is an unsafe place to cook. Sooooo,
USE DISPOSABLE COVERINGS for everything.
- I use wax paper on my cookie cooling racks.
- tin foil on the baking sheets
- paper towel in the microwave
- place mat on the table (not disposable)
