👨‍🍳 THE METHOD

🛡️ SAFETY FIRST

  • 🌶️ Spicy Contact: The oils from Chili peppers stay on your skin. Wash your hands with dish soap immediately after chopping—never touch your eyes or face during prep!

  • 🔪 The Claw Grip: When dicing the Onion, curl your fingertips inward like a "claw" to keep them away from the knife blade.

  • 🔥 Melted Cheese: Hot Mozzarella sticks to skin and can cause severe burns. Let the dish rest for 5 Minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set and cool slightly.
