Cooking Safety Tips for Banker’s Hill
The leading cause of cooking fires in the kitchen is unattended cooking. SERVPRO® of Centre City/Uptown offers these cooking safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:
Cook with Caution
- Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol, don’t use the stove or stovetop.
- Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food
- If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove
- If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking
- Use a timer to remind you that you are cooking
- Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop
If you have a small grease cooking fire and decide to fight the fire...
- On the stovetop, smother the flames by sliding a lid over the pan and turning off the burner, and leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.
- For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed
