Quick Kitchen Safety Tips

So, when are kitchen fires most likely to happen? When you’re cooking, of course! So aside from the fire safety tips above, here are some basic tips to remember when you’re in the throes of a culinary operation:

1. Roll up your sleeves
2. If you have long hair, keep it tied up when cooking
3. Don’t overfill pots and pans – they can spark and splatter grease, which can cause a fire
4. Keep paper towels, dish towels, and other accessories away from the stove
5. Never cook on a dirty stove — grease build-up can be flammable

Sometimes, these tips and tricks can be hard to remember, especially when you’re in the heat of cooking. So to be extra safe, go ahead and write ‘em on a whiteboard or sticky note in your kitchen! If you’re the token klutz in your friend group, this will be extra effective.
