7 Safety Rules In The Kitchen- Kitchen safety is really essential and it is very important to know the basic rules of the kitchen. There are pieces of equipment that can be extremely dangerous. Sharp objects like knives, open fire by the oven, electrical appliances, and even bacteria around the kitchen. Observing basic rules of kitchen safety is a good habit to develop.
So let us learn some basic rules of the Kitchen:
- Never add water to a pan that has hot oil in it. It could make the oil spatter and burn someone. Throw baking soda or salt on a grease fire. Do not use flour, baking powder or other cooking powders that resemble baking soda or salt – they have a different chemical makeup and will make the fire worse.

3. Do not put cooked food on an unwashed plate or a cutting board that has had raw food on it. Always put cooked food on a clean plate.
