Learn the Basic Rules of Kitchen Safety Kitchens can be dangerous places, but by following a few simple rules, you can greatly reduce your risk of injury. 1. Keep the kitchen clean and organized. A cluttered kitchen is a recipe for disaster. Make sure to wipe down countertops and appliances after each use, and put away all sharp objects and utensils when you're finished cooking. 2. Use potholders or oven mitts when handling hot pots and pans. Never touch a hot surface with your bare hands, and never leave a pot or pan unattended on the stovetop. 3. Turn off the stovetop when you're finished cooking. It's easy to forget to turn off the stovetop after you've finished cooking, but this is a dangerous mistake. Make sure to turn off the stovetop and check the knobs to make sure they're in the off position before leaving the kitchen. 4. Keep children away from the kitchen. Children are curious and often don't understand the dangers of the kitchen. Keep them away from the stovetop, oven, and sharp objects. 5. Be careful when using knives. Knives are one of the most dangerous tools in the kitchen, so it's important to use them carefully. Keep your knives sharp and in a safe place when you're not using them. 6. Read the instructions before using a new appliance. Every appliance is different, so it's important to read the instructions before you use it. This will help you avoid accidents and learn how to use the appliance properly. 7. Be aware of your surroundings. When you're cooking, pay attention to what you're doing and be aware of your surroundings. This will help you avoid accidents, such as dropping a hot pan or spilling boiling water. By following these simple rules, you can greatly reduce your risk of injury in the kitchen.
