Part 1: Review Kitchen
Safety and Microwave Use
To start today's kids cooking
lessons please review our
kitchen
safety page
and our lesson on
microwave
use.
We are going to continue on with cooking in the
kitchen, so, it is important to have this knowledge "under their belt"
before we learn about oven safety.
Part 2: 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.
