We’re pretty good at showing you what not to do, and it’s only because we want people to see how fast things can go bad. Turkey fryers get a lot of attention this time of year, but they’re only one of the risks we see around Thanksgiving.
While you’re cooking your holiday dishes, watch out for the things that cause the most trouble in real kitchens:
• Walking away from the stove
• Grease getting too hot
• Clutter near burners
• Kids or pets running through the workspace
Keep your kitchen clear, stay close to what you’re cooking, and have a safe holiday season.
