As the kitchen serves as a common gathering area during the holidays, safety in the kitchen is important, especially during Thanksgiving when friends and family are enjoying holiday festivities. PGW recommends these Thanksgiving kitchen safety tips:
- Remain in the kitchen and be attentive when cooking food on the stove or in the oven.
- Keep children three feet away from the stove and oven.
- Be sure cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not loose within reach of a child.
- Make sure smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.
- Keep the floor clear of bags, toys, boxes and any household items.
- Roll up sleeves or wear short sleeves while cooking to avoid anything catching on fire.
- Set timers to keep track of cooking times.
- After guests leave, be sure all cooking appliances are turned off and all candles are extinguished.
