Cooking Safety Tips
Robin @ Kids Matter
Home is a place of comfort where your children learn, love, grow, experience, and discover. It’s a place where children should feel safe, but there are dangers that we don’t all realize. So, we need to do our best to make our homes safe and do what we can to prevent accidents. Whether you are cooking that extravagant turkey dinner, a simple meal at any other time of the year, or anything in between, here are some kitchen tips to help your family be safe. Please visit the Safe Kids website for more safety tips.
o Keep children at least three feet from the hot stove.
o Cook on the back burners when possible.
o Keep pan handles turned toward the back of the stove.
o Stay in the kitchen while frying, broiling, or grilling.
