Staying Safe in the Kitchen
14
By now, we should all know the benefits of eating home-cooked meals. However, preparing home-cooked meals comes with risk for those who are unfamiliar with cooking. Precautionary measures need to be taken. Here are five crucial rules to remember when working in the kitchen.
2. Angle Your Pans
When cooking on the stovetop, angle the handles of all your pans so that they stick out to the sides over the workspace. If the handles are sticking out over the edge of the stove, it is incredibly easy to accidentally bump into them and cause a hazardous spill.
1. Wear an Apron
Wearing an apron while cooking at home may seem a bit excessive, but they serve an important purpose. Not only do they keep your clothes clean, they also protect against spills and splashing of boiling water or oil—preventing you from potentially getting severely burnt.
