Kitchen Safety: What You Can Do

I thought I would show you exactly what you can do to keep your kitchen safe. There are some things that you need to understand because the kitchen is actually a very dangerous place. You have a lot of things that could burn you which includes the stove and the food you’re cooking on it. You have a lot of sharp items like knives and forks. You even have poison under the sink known as cleaners. There are simple practices that you can put into place to make your home a much safer place and I want to share them with you.

I think one thing you should start doing is cooking on the stove by keeping the handle of your frying pan pushed in. You don’t want it to hang over the side of the counter. It may not seem like a big deal, but you can easily bump into it and spill stuff. But the even more alarming issue is if you have a child in your home. A small child will look up to that handle and try to grab it. When they do the hot food, water or grease will fall all over them. This is something that you don’t want to have happen.

Another nice thing to have is a fire extinguisher. If you ever had a fire, you have to put it out quickly. The more time it has to spread, the harder it will be to put out. Water may seem like the best solution, but it doesn’t do a good job at stopping certain types of fires. When you get a fire extinguisher you can put out practically any type of fire you want.
