4. Food Safety & Cooking Disclaimer / 食品安全與烹飪免責條款
⚠️ Important Cooking Notice & Kitchen Safety / 重要烹飪安全與衛生須知：
Thai street food and home cooking involve high-heat techniques, boiling hot oil, spicy chilies, and pressurized appliances:
High Heat & Boiling Oil (高溫熱油防護)： Dishes such as Moo Krob (Thai Crispy Pork Belly / 泰式脆皮燒肉) and Tod Mun Goong (Thai Shrimp Cakes / 金錢蝦餅) require deep-frying with hot oil. Always dry meat skin thoroughly before frying, use splatter screens, and keep flammable objects and children away from deep-frying stations.
Safe Seafood & Meat Cooking Temperatures (海鮮與肉類中心溫度)： Thai recipes feature shrimp, squid, crab, and poultry. Ensure all poultry reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C) and seafood is cooked thoroughly until opaque and firm. While street vendors in Thailand may serve semi-cured seafood (e.g., Goong Chae Nam Pla), home cooks are strongly advised to cook all seafood thoroughly unless using verified sashimi-grade ingredients.
Pressurized Steam Appliances (電壓力鍋操作安全)： When using Instant Pot or electric pressure cookers for braised dishes (e.g., Khao Kha Moo 泰式滷豬腳, Massaman Curry 瑪莎曼咖哩), always inspect the silicone sealing ring and never obstruct or force open steam release valves.
Food Allergies & Hypersensitivities (過敏原警示)： Thai cuisine frequently utilizes major allergens including peanuts (花生), shellfish / shrimp paste (蝦醬/蝦類), fish sauce (魚露), soy (黃豆), and coconut (椰奶). Users with food allergies must carefully verify all commercial packaging and prepare safe substitutions.
User Assumption of Risk (使用者自主安全責任)： ThaiFood Master is an educational recipe guide. Users assume full responsibility for ingredient freshness, allergen checks, kitchen safety, and appliance handling. The developers disclaim any liability for adverse reactions, foodborne illness, or kitchen mishaps.
