I'd suggest teaching him to clean the mess as he goes.. Keep up with his work so you don't have a hellacious mess in the kitchen when he's done.

True. I learned this a long time ago and it makes cooking a lot easier if you keep up with the mess instead of trying to tackle it after the stuff is cooked.

There's plenty of time between steps with most dishes you prepare to get things sorted and cleaned up before progressing with the cooking.
