Cooking Safety Tips
-Never leave cooking unattended.
-Keep your stove surface and oven clean.
-Wear short, tight-fitting, or rolled-up sleeves when cooking to avoid catching your clothing on fire.
-Keep combustible materials away from the stove. Don't hang curtains, potholders, or towels near the range or store items on the stovetop.
-Turn pot handles inward so they can't be bumped or pulled over.
-Enforce a "Kid Free Zone" three feet around the range.
-In microwave ovens, use only those containers designed for microwave use.
-If a small fire starts in a pan, carefully slide a lid over the pan to smother the flames, and turn off the burner. Leave the lid on until cool.
-Never pour water on a grease fire.
