- 1). Set up wind protection. Erect a screen to block the wind or cook in a covered area. Nobody wants pollen or leaves in her food.
- 2). Light bug torches. Flies and bees will most definitely be a problem when cooking outdoors. Because you don’t want to spend your entire time killing them, nor do you want to eat them, make sure to have citronella candles or torches on hand. Remember to keep them at a safe distance from the food.
- 3). Keep yourself cool and clean. Wear a hat and keep yourself hydrated. If you don’t have an outdoor sink, it may be tempting to skip frequent hand-washes, but remember the importance of washing your hands after handling raw meat or eggs and after contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth.
- 4). Create a covered area for the cooked food. You don’t want insects eating your dinner, and you don't want your food to spoil, so set up a place for the finished dishes before you are too busy to think about it.
- 5). Clean your area constantly. Chances are, you don’t have as much space outside as you do inside. Throwing garbage out and putting things away as you use them will keep your cooking area tidy and help you operate more efficiently.
- 6). Do not wear loose clothing. Loose clothing is more likely to catch on fire than is clothing with a tighter fit.
