Electrical Safety Tips at Home Safety

If you're called away from the cooker - by the phone, or by someone at the door - take pans off the heat. It's the easiest thing in the world to forget about them. Keep the oven door shut. Always clean the grill pan after using it. Don't let yourself be distracted whilst cooking. Don't put oven gloves or tea towels down on the cooker after you've used them. Don't cook if you're affected by alcohol or prescription drugs. Don't leave children on their own in the kitchen.

Most scalds and burns to children happen here. Keep matches out of children's reach. Don't leave pan handles sticking out where they could be tipped over (but don't put them over another ring). Think about what you're doing when you're deep frying. You're heating several pints of oil to extremely high temperatures. The oil cannot only cause terrible burns, but it can go up in flames . In fact, it's an ideal fuel for a fire, and difficult to put out. Never be tempted to use your chip pan after consuming alcohol. If you use an open chip pan only fill it one third full of oil or fat. Always dry the chips before placing them in the oil. Test the temperature with a small piece of bread or potato. If it crisps quickly, the oil is hot enough. If the oil starts to smoke don't put food in. Turn off the heat and leave to cool Always keep a careful watch on the chip pan and never leave it unattended. In the event of a chip pan fire, our advice for dealing with such an incident is: Do not move the pan. Try to turn the power off to the chip pan, but only if safe to do so. Leave the room, closing the door behind you, leave the house, call 999 and remain outside the house and wait for the Fire Service to arrive. If you do decide to try and fight a chip pan fire: Call the Fire Service first. Don't take risks. Have a clear escape route. Turn off the power to the chip pan. Use only a fire blanket that has a British Standard Kitemark (never use water, [as this will cause a fireball], wet tea towels, pan lids or chopping boards etc). Hold the blanket in front of you, protecting your hands and wrists from the flames. Lower it very carefully over the pan ensuring you do not disturb the pan or its handle. Do not remove or disturb the blanket for any reason. Do not attempt to move the pan. Leave the house and await the arrival of the Fire Service. Never move the pan, even if the fire is put out. Wait for the Fire Service to arrive, they are trained and equipped to deal with hot fat fires. There is a very real chance that, if disturbed, the chip pan will re-ignite. Electrical appliances such as toasters and cookers are possible ignition sources for fires in the kitchen. Don't position toasters near curtains. Always use these appliances as directed by the manufacturer�s instructions Do not overload electrical sockets.
