Have you ever had to deal with something getting inadvertently set on fire while you were cooking for Thanksgiving? Whether you have a cheesecake that overflows in the stove and sets itself on fire or you accidentally getting a dish cloth a little too close to the eye, it can be easy to need a fire extinguisher during this time of year. There are a few things you will want to remember.
- If it is a grease fire, you never ever ever want to pour water on it. Instead, you will want to suffocate the flames as safely as possible.
- Keep the cooking range clutter-free during this time of year.
- Make sure that you are cooking the turkey properly, letting it thaw the right way, calling for help if you need to, and most of all not using a turkey fryer. They just aren’t worth the risk.
