Kitchen Safety For Children

The kitchen can be a very dangerous room for children. The following few rules if practiced can help to avoid accidents:

• Children must always be supervised while in the kitchen.
• Make sure to keep sharp objects out of their reach.
• Keep all handles of pots and pans on the stove inward so that children cannot reach them.
• Make sure that anything with hot fluids is not within the reach of children.

Some Kitchen Knife Safety

Protect your fingers: Curl your fingers under and position them on top of the item to be cut, for example an onion half. With your hand on the onion and fingers safely tucked, place the side of the knife next to your knuckles. Cut while maintaining a strong grip on the onion. Make sure to use a cutting board when cutting.
