The food sounds fine to me.
I start off by letting a hamster walk out of their cage and onto my arm or leg and then stroke them. I put them back while inside a mug. That way i don't need to use my hands and can introduce them slowly to handling.
They live in cages with big front doors in a hamster safe area which makes taming easy.

If you have a top access enclosure and need to carry a hamster to a hamster proof area you can sit as well like a bath tub then i'd use a hamster ball for transport. Never keep a hamster longer than necessary in a ball because they are scary traps for them.
