3. Safety Measures to Protect
Oneself While Cooking
a. Do not reach over an open flame
with arm.
b. Do not cook wearing garments with
large, loose sleeves. Roll sleeves up.
Most severe burns
are caused by clothing that has caught fire.
c. Do not mix hot oil with water.
This can cause a hot oil burn.
d. Turn off flame before adding any
food to hot oil to prevent flame from
shooting up and
"tracking" the oil splatter. Flame should be adjusted
appropriately
after food is in pan.
e. Watch for children "underfoot"
while carrying trays with hot liquids or foods
to avoid tripping
and causing a burn or injury.
f. Check oven and stove to be sure
they are off when finished cooking.
