A Recipe for Safe Cooking • Stay with your food. • Always turn on the fan above the stove. • Cook on LOW and MEDIUM heat to prevent food from burning, overcooking, or creating a large amount of smoke. • Use a lid on pots and pans when possible to limit splatter, steam, and smoke. • Do not cook when you are overtired or distracted. • Clean stove top and oven spills promptly. Make sure when you cook that your surface is clean.
