How do you begin your show? Do you wash hands and cook immediately or do introductions first?
 
I say hello... introduce myself. Thank host for having me, then wash hands while all are looking. I don't wear gloves so I want them to see me wash my hands!
 
It really depends on the type of show you are doing and the audience you are catering to. If it's a cooking show, it's important to set a good example by washing your hands before handling any food. However, if it's more of a talk show or variety show, it may be more appropriate to start with introductions and then move on to the cooking segment. Ultimately, it's important to prioritize hygiene and safety while also keeping your audience engaged and entertained.
