Part 2 of Kids Cooking
Lessons
Review
Oven Safety
Please discuss and show your child the steps of Oven Safety.
Always use pot holders.
Make sure small children are out of the way when handling a
hot pan off the stove.
When removing a hot pan from the stove to the sink or table
let everyone now you are moving by letting them know you are coming
even if you have to yell "HOT PAN COMING THROUGH."
Pot handles should be facing inward so small hands can not
grab the handle.
Know how to use your stove, what is high, medium, low. How to
turn the oven on, etc.
Keep stovetop and oven clean. Leftover grease and residue can
start a grease fire.
In case of a grease fire never pour water on the fire. Cover
the pan with a lid or close the oven door.
Have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen but away from the
stove. Learn how to use it.
Never leave anything on the stove unattended.
