Thanksgiving is only a couple days away and we just wanted to take a moment to share a few turkey day cooking tips to help keep you safe for this holiday.
Remember that over 4000 fires start each year on Thanksgiving Day and most of those are due to cooking related accidents.
Before the cooking begins make sure to clean your oven or stove.
Remember that young children and pets love to be under foot while you are cooking and given how extra chaotic Thanksgiving Day can be it’s a good idea to clear a 3-foot safe zone around your oven.
If a small fire starts in a pan on the stove, carefully slide a lid on the pan and turn off the burner. If a fire starts in the oven or microwave, keep the door closed. Then, turn off the oven or unplug the microwave as soon as possible. Leave the door closed until the appliance is cooled down. Using water can splatter a cooking fire around the kitchen.
Finally, when it comes to the turkey, remember that turkey fryers can spew hot oil while you’re cooking so be extra careful. Never drop a frozen turkey into hot oil!!!
We thank our friends at the Washington Herald for this information and remind you all to please be extra careful this turkey day and have fun.
