We all know how distracting things can get around the holidays. Especially with family and friends over. However there are some tips to keep in mind that will help keep the holidays safe for everyone. Listed below are some great kitchen tips to remember as you prepare this year. 

-Stay in the kitchen when you are frying,boiling and grilling food. Remember to turn the stove off, even if you leave the room for just a short time.

-Never use a wet oven mitt, this prevents scald danger that can occur if the moisture from the mitt is heated.

-Explain to children to stay at least 3 feet away from the stove and areas where food and drinks are being prepared. 

-Keep anything that can catch fire away from stove tops. Some examples are: potholders, curtains, and towels.

-Always keep a lid and mitt nearby while cooking. Small grease fires can start and the quickest way to put them out is by covering the pan up and turner the burner off.

-Make sure there is a working smoke alarm in the kitchen.
