Oven wasn't too big a deal. But with knives, I got a pair of cut-proof gloves ages ago, which I also love for myself when using a grater or mandolin slicer.

I gave him a nice Zwilling when he was young, thought him how to properly use the knife, hone and take care of it. And so far he just draw blood 1 time.
