Most often than not kids love being in the kitchen watching Mommy prepares the meal. However, kids and kitchen can be a dangerous combination especially when no adult is around. Here are simple tips to avoid kitchen mishaps.

  • Don’t let cords of electrical appliances dangle. Cords are both temptations and a hazard to small children. Tuck away appliances with cords or use cordless appliances.
  • Use stove guard over the stove,
  • Keep all hot drinks, plates, and dishes out of children’s reach.
  • Turn saucepan handles inward when cooking.
  • Be careful in using a deep fryer around children. Flying drops of hot oil can cause instant severe burns.
  • Store children’s food far away from the cooking area as much as possible.
  • Declare a no-go area, preferably including cooking and food preparation areas, for children.
