Cook Like a Pro at your Tailgates and Halloween Parties
Kitchens are a beautiful space for families to make memories and cooks to make magic. Ask any professional chef, and he or she will tell you that safety is a number one priority when cooking.
Best practices include proper ventilation using a vent hood or an open window to alleviate food emissions produced by food when you’re cooking.
Knife safety is also important in the kitchen. Keep knives and other sharp objects out of reach of children and watch your surroundings when carrying sharp utensils across your kitchen.
Additional safety measures include:
- Keeping flammable objects away from the stove
- Choosing the appropriate size pan for your dish
- Not overcrowding the pan
- Using the appropriate heat level
- Regular cleaning of gas grates and burner caps
- Regular checking gas connections for leaks
