DO NOT use a wet pot holder.

Steam burns can result. DO NOT

use a towel or bulky cloth as a
pot holder. They could catch fire

and burn you.

12. MAKE SURE the utensils you use
are large enough to contain
food and avoid boii-overs and

Heavy splattering or spill-avers
left on a range can ignite and
burn you. Pan size is especially
important in deep fat frying.

high heat settings. Boilovers and
greasy spillovers could cause

steam, smoke and could ignite
