Kitchen safety tips 7

Never stick a fork in a toaster to retrieve trapped toast – you may get shocking results.

Always be sure the blender is unplugged before touching the blades.

Be careful about sharp edges: scissors, broken glass, potato peeler, etc.

Never ever, ever leave cooking foods unattended – not even for a minute.

Casualness causes casualties – don’t answer or talk on the phone while cooking – you can be distracted and injuries can result.
