The stove top can be a very dangerous place in the kitchen. To eliminate the amount of received burns and scalds, make sure to follow these safety precautions:
1. Lift the pot/pan lid by tilting it away from your face.
2. When smelling a pot/pan's contents, waft the steam towards your face. DO NOT bend towards the stove or place your nose within the pot.
3. While cooking, remember to keep the surrounding area clean. Do not leave any flammable objects around the stove top.
4. In case of a grease fire, immediately sprinkle the pan with baking soda and cover it with a lid. If possible, safely turn off the stove.
5. Always remember to tilt pan handles parallel to or away from the stove edge. Handles that hang over can be easily pulled down by a child or accidentally nudged by a passerby.
