Cooking Safety Tips

[reshan]

Here are some more safe cooking tips:

- Make sure the stove top is always clean and clear. Also, make sure oven vents are clear. Never leave wooden or plastic tools, dish towels, or other items on the stove top. If you turn on the wrong burner, you could easily melt something or start of fire.

- Never put a glass casserole or lid on the stove or over a burner. If it gets hot and explodes, it will send shards of glass in all directions.

- Use potholders and oven mitts. Well insulated mitts and potholders will prevent burns IF they are dry. Get a dry one if the one you're using gets wet. Water conducts heat directly to your hand so you might as well not use one at all if it's not dry.
