There are a number of procedures you can take to make frying safer.1. Do not lean on a hot frying pan. You will burn your hand.2.

The water boils and causes oil to go everywhere.4. If frying on the stove, keep a large lid, wet towels or baking soda nearby in case some oil catches on fire. Smother the flame. Don't try to put it out with water.5. Don't move a pan full of hot oil from the stove. It can spill and burn you or start a fire. Wait until it is cool.
