Kitchen Safety: 8 Tips to Avoid Thanksgiving Cooking Mishaps! by Kaila Weingarten

Have these tips in mind to keep your holiday cooking safe! 

• Stand by your pan! Unattended cooking is the top cause of kitchen fires. This threat is three times greater on Thanksgiving! 
• Don’t wear loose-fitting clothing with long sleeves near ranges or ovens. 
• Watch kids so they don’t come into contact with hot stovetops. 
• Turn pan handles toward the back of the stove. 
• In the event of a fire, call 911. 
• Cover a pan with a lid to smother the flames. 
• Never pour water or flour onto a fire – that can make the fire worse. 
• Keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen!

Here's to a safe Thanksgiving!
