  • Be on Alert!  If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol do not cook on the stove top or in the oven
  • Stay in the kitchen when grilling, frying, boiling, or broiling
  • Turn handles on pots and pans in from hanging over the edge of the stove top. this helps avoid bumping into or little hand grabbing things while they are cooking
  • Keep anything that could catch fire away from the stove top when it is in use  ( examples:  towels, wooden spoons, food packaging and paper towels )
