Cooking Over The Holidays

Did you know that cooking is the main cause of home fires and injuries? To steer clear of these types of tragedies, remember to never leave cooking food unattended.  Stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling food. You must check food regularly while cooking and remain in the home while kitchen equipment is in use.  Use a timer as a reminder that the stove or oven is on.  Remember to keep small children away from the cooking area.  Enforce a " kid free zone" and make them stay at least three feet away from the stove and oven.  Keep anything flammable like pot holders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, food packaging, and towels away from the stove, oven or other appliances in the kitchen that generates heat.
