Safety
First
Fire
and Stove Safety
Find
out if you have permission to use the stove, toaster,
and microwave. If not, donæt use them.
-
Keep emergency numbers by the phone.
- Don't
cook when wearing shirts with long, baggy sleeves
or with your hair hanging down in your face, you could
catch on fire.
- Use
potholders when handling hot pots, pans and dishes.
- Steam
Burns: be careful of escaping steam when lifting casserole
or saucepan lids. Place little children in a playpen
when you are working at the stove, so you won't trip
over them or possibly spill something on them.
- Be
very careful of boiling water and other boiling liquids.
They can cause very serious burns. If you are not
allowed to handle boiling water alone, plan on getting
some help. This is very important.
- Never
heat a pan full of oil. Use very little oil at a time---like
one or two tablespoons at most. It's much safer and
much healthier.
- Smother
a pan fire by covering it with the pan lid. If this
does not work throw baking soda on the fire. Do not
lift a burning pan to try to move it and do not pour
water over it.
Appliance
Safety
- Only
use appliances you have permission to use.
-
Never submerge an electrical appliance in water. If
one accidentally lands in the water, never reach in
to remove it.
- Never
use appliances near the sink or other water sources.
- Ask
you parents to consider having safety outlets installed
near sinks in the kitchen and bathrooms.
- To
clean an appliance like an electric mixer, unplug
it and remove the beaters and wash them. Wipe the
mixer itself with a damp sponge or cloth, but don't
wash.
Knife
Safety
- Find
out if you are allowed to use sharp knives. If not,
don't.
- Always
use an appropriately sized knife. Usually a paring
knife or a small slicing knife will fill most of your
cooking needs. Never use a knife that is too big for
the job you want to do.
- Pay
attention to what you are doing.
- Don't
try to use a knife while giving directions to other
people around you. Look at what you are doing
- Never
use a dull knife, as this is more dangerous than using
a sharp knife correctly.
- Keep
knives away from the edges of counters and tables
where little ones might grab them
- When
you walk with a sharp knife, keep the sharp end pointed
down.

These
tools are high quality and very durable and most definitely
not a play set; they are real cooking utensils for little
hands. |
