Cooking Safety Tips for Lincoln Park

The leading cause of cooking fires in the kitchen is unattended cooking. SERVPRO® of Gold Coast /Lincoln Park /Lakeview offers these cooking safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

Cook with Caution

• Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol, don’t use the stove or stovetop.
• Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food
• If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove
• If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking
• Use a timer to remind you that you are cooking
• Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop

If you have a small grease cooking fire and decide to fight the fire...

• On the stovetop, smother the flames by sliding a lid over the pan and turning off the burner, and leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.
• For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed
