Safety tips for tasty meals
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the top three days of the year for cooking fires are Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and the day before Thanksgiving.
Here are the top five cooking safety tips to help keep your food tasty and your family safe during any season.
- Do not leave cooking unattended. When using the stovetop, stay in the kitchen so you can keep an eye on the food. If you have something in the oven, check on it frequently
- Keep flammable items away from the stovetop, including oven mitts, potholders, food packaging and dish towels. Avoid wearing loose clothing, which could catch fire on burners
- Keep children at least three feet from the stove and turn pot handles inward to prevent accidental burns or scalding
- Spray your pan with cooking spray ahead of time and spray it away from your stove. Sprays and open flames can be a dangerous mix
- Use your stove or oven exclusively for cooking delicious meals. Never use it to heat a room or dry clothes. This is not only a fire hazard, but it puts you at risk for carbon monoxide exposure
