Watch Out for Cooking Fires This Thanksgiving

Cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year? Even a professional chef can get distracted in the kitchen leaving the chance for a cooking fire.

According to the National Fire Protection Council, Thanksgiving is the leading day for cooking fires in the U.S.

Cook smart this year by taking these tips for a safe Thanksgiving Dinner:
  • Alcohol and turkeys don’t mix! Don’t drink and cook especially when using a stove or cook top.
  • Don’t leave the kitchen unattended especially when frying, grilling or broiling food.
  • Use a timer so that you don’t forget about that casserole until smoke starts pluming from the oven.
  • Keep flammable objects like oven mits, dish towels, etc. away from the stove top.
