Kitchen Policies
- There should be absolutely no horseplay or other inappropriate behavior in the kitchen.
- There should be absolutely no shouting or screaming while using the kitchen.
- Guests must always make sure that the kitchen is spotless after use.
- Gloves must be worn at all times. Hands must be washed and sanitized before, during and after cooking.
- All kitchen surfaces should be wiped down and sanitized before and after cooking. This includes but is not limited to: counters, cabinets, tables, chairs, and appliances.
- Garbage should be disposed of appropriately.
- All personal cooking items should be removed once cooking is finished. All items left in the kitchen are subject to immediate removal.
- Food should not be left in the sink or pushed down the sink drain. There is a food basket in the drain that should remain there so that it catches food while cleaning. Empty as necessary.
Warnings
- Kitchen and hallway smoke detectors should not be removed or disabled for any reason. Do not hang items from sprinkler head and/or fire detection/fighting equipment. Smoke detectors are sensitive to airborne particles such as hair spray. Intentional or accidental activation of and/or tampering with any fire detection device may result in disciplinary action and/or paying for associated repair costs. Any problem with a smoke detector should reported to the AACC staff.
- Do NOT drop anything on the stove. It is a glass-top appliance and if misused, may break very easily. Any and all damages will be paid for by the individual or organization responsible. There are no exceptions to this policy.
