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 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.
