Use caution while cooking this Thanksgiving

Posted

Thanksgiving is the peak day for home-cooking fires.

The Queen Creek Fire and Medical Department offers the following cooking safety tips to help reduce the risk of fire this Thanksgiving:

  • Keep anything that can catch fire away from the stovetop (oven mitts, food packaging, etc.).
  • Stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling or boiling food. If you must leave the room, turn off the stove.
  • Be sure to thaw the turkey completely before cooking.
  • Keep kids at least three feet away from the stove, oven, hot food and liquids.
  • If you have a pan fire, place a lid on the pan and turn off the burner. Never throw water or use a fire extinguisher on a pan fire.
  • If the fire does not go out or you don’t feel comfortable sliding a lid over the pan, get everyone out of your home. Call 9-1-1 from outside.
