Around the holidays, little ones love to become little helpers! As you pull out your favorite recipes, keep these cooking safety tips in mind to protect yourself and your kids:
• Avoid carrying or holding a child while cooking on the stove.
• Use the back burners of your stove and turn pot handles away from the edge.
• Check to make sure appliance cords are coiled and away from counter edges.
• Take a minute to test your smoke alarms.
• Use this time to explain and model safe cooking behaviors for your children.
