Precautions:
Hot Surfaces:
Be cautious when working with hot surfaces, such as the stove and the saucepan. Use oven mitts or pot holders to prevent burns.
Spills and Splatters:
The tomato sauce may splatter during cooking. Keep a lid partially covering the saucepan to minimize splatters, and stir with care.
Allergies:
Check for allergies to ingredients like dairy before adding heavy cream. Consider alternatives if needed.
Tasting Safely:
When tasting the sauce for seasoning, allow it to cool slightly to avoid burning your mouth.
Cooking Odors:
Ensure proper ventilation in the kitchen, especially if using strong-smelling ingredients like garlic, to prevent odors from lingering.
Ingredient Freshness:
Use fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially for canned tomatoes, to ensure the best flavor.
Stirring Carefully:
Stir the sauce gently to avoid splashing hot liquid. Use a long-handled spoon for safety.
