What safety measures should be taken to prevent burns from cooking?

Answer 1

follow these safety measures

1 Use oven mitts and potholders: Always have heat-resistant oven mitts or potholders on hand to handle hot pots, pans, and baking sheets.

2 Keep a safe distance: Maintain a safe distance from stovetops and ovens when they're in use to avoid accidental contact with hot surfaces or steam.

3 Turn handles inward: When cooking on the stovetop, turn pot and pan handles inward to prevent accidental spills and burns.

4 Use proper cookware: Ensure your cookware is in good condition and suitable for the type of cooking you're doing. Avoid using damaged or mismatched pots and pans.

5 Stay attentive: Never leave cooking unattended, especially when using hot oil or high heat. Pay attention to timers and use kitchen timers if necessary to prevent overheating or burning food.1

Answer 2

There are hundreds of tips and pieces of advice from all over the world, but here are a few that I use: Never leave anything on the stove with unaccompanied children in the kitchen. Never allow the handles of pots and pans to stick out over the edge of the stove--it's too tempting for little fingers to reach up and grab. Use a lid or splatter screen when you're frying food. Never use a pot holder that's wet; that's almost as painful as not using one at all. Make sure your throw rugs lie flat and don't skid. Don't leave food out overnight; in fact, it's safest to refrigerate food as soon as it's stops steaming (some cooks refrigerate food immediately after serving).

Answer 3

• Don't touch the burner,
• if you have little kids and pots and pans on the burners don't leave the handles outward.
• Don't leave plastic things on burners because they will melt.
• Don't put anything flammable on burners

Answer 4

Care should be used when removing covers from pans of steaming foods and when uncovering or opening foods heated in a microwave oven.
