Fire During Cooking

With Thanksgiving coming up here in a few days some of us will be cooking for the holiday.  Cooking for the holiday can be joyous for us but could turn dangerous.  If you are going to be cooking at home, ensure you take proper cooking precautions.  Follow these few simple tips and you should have a good experience.

1. Make sure to cook all foods to proper temperatures. This will ensure food poising doesn’t happen.  Follow all food prep directions.
2. When using the stove all pot and pan handles should face toward the back of the stove. Following this tip will help from family members who have gather in the kitchen not to knock the pot or pans off the stove causing them to burn themselves or others. 
3. Putting the turkey in the oven? Make sure to remove the insides (sometimes these are placed in a bag) of the turkey and any plastic that might have the turkey tied up for shipment.  Plastics or paper could cause a fire, and no one wants that to happen. 

These are just a few tips to keep in mind while cooking your family’s Thanksgiving dinner.  SERVPRO of Marlboro/Tinton Falls wishes everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
