I was taking a class and at a laboratory where all the students stayed in a dorm on site. One day when there was snow in the forecast, the cook pulled me aside, showed me where everything was in the fridge, and was like "you can handle a stove, right?" Nobody died (we also made some soft pretzels). Sure, harder to scale on a college campus but kids just need to be able to work an oven without blowing themselves up in order to be allowed out of the house.
I wouldn't want people working with the stuff in the kitchen though like the ovens and stove sure but there are steam ovens and steam cabinets that they could easily blind themselves with if they lean in while opening
Also people are fucking animals and I don't want their grubby hands on my table or going through my drawer where i keep recipes that really worked out like for tokyo street fry seasoning or loubieh bi zeit. What if they threw them away??
But like if we're anticipating disaster I'd literally go in to work to make a couple hundred burritos and if that doesn't feed them for at least a day or two then idk that's a them problem at that point
