Learning Task No. 1: Give your conclusion regarding the picture below. What are the things you can do to prevent dangers in the kitchen. List down safety measures to this scenario in your notebook.
Keep your kitchen clean. This will prevent kitchen injuries and give you the space to work when needed.
Clean your stove and oven after use. Debris on burners or in the oven can catch fire, especially grease and fat. Wait until they have cooled, however, do not wipe a burner while it is still on or hot.
Clean up spills. Liquids on the floor can cause you to slip and fall. If you can't clean it up right away, throw a towel onto the spot to remind you to get to it as soon as you can.
Keep counters clear of clutter. Put away dishes and utensils after you are done with them and they have been cleaned. You should always have enough room on your stove and counters to do what you need for cooking. Keeping your stove and counters clear will reduce the chances of things falling.
This also includes other items, such as cook books, homework, and paper. Not only can they get dirty, but they can create a fire hazard if they are too close to the stove.
Sharpen your knives regularly. A dull knife may sound safer, but it is actually more likely to slip and slice you. To prevent this, you should always keep your cutting knives sharp with a sharpening stick or whetstone.
How often you do this depends on how often you use your knives; the more often you use them, the more often you will have to sharpen them.
Store dangerous objects in a safe location. If you have children in the home, you need to designate a safe area for dangerous kitchen items. A knife block is safer for your children, and you, than storing them in a drawer. Make a habit of returning these items to their safe spot and never leave these items in reach of young children.
Put heavy equipment on lower shelves. You don't want to worry about them falling down or breaking your shelves.
Avoid distractions. Don't try to do other things while you are cooking. Your attention should be completely on what you are trying to do, especially if it involves heat and sharp objects. Stay in the kitchen and off the phone. Using a timer can help, especially if you are worried something might distract you from your cooking.
For example, if you are making icing while your cookies is in the oven, check on the cookies to make sure that they don't burn.
Keep flammable objects away from the stove. This includes towels (both cloth and paper), potholders, food packaging, or anything else that might catch on fire.
Some liquids may also be flammable, especially household cleaners. If the packaging tells you to keep the product away from heat, move it away from the stove.
Have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. Since many fires start in the kitchen, get a fire extinguisher. It should be stored somewhere away from stoves and ovens, as that will be where you will most likely need it. You don't want the flames to prevent you from getting to the extinguisher.
Make sure you read the instructions when you buy the extinguisher. Don't wait until you have a fire in the kitchen before you read the instruction on how to use it.
