Thanksgiving is one of the most common days of the year for house fires! Deep-frying a turkey may sound like a good idea, but only if you are aware of the Thanksgiving safety guidelines! Here are a few recommendations to keep in mind in case you have forgotten:<\/p>\n
\n
Never leave your food unattended while it is still cooking on the stove!<\/li>\n
Be sure to check on your turkey constantly while it is cooking. This is true regardless of whether you are baking, or deep-frying!<\/li>\n
Do your best to keep your children out of the kitchen while you are cooking. Purchase them a coloring book, a puzzle, or put on a movie to encourage them to stay in other areas of your home.<\/li>\n
Clear the floor of your kitchen before you begin to prep for your long day of cooking. Tripping over a toy could be the one thing to ruin your perfect holiday!<\/li>\n
Make sure your children are not in reach of knives or any other sharp objects.<\/li>\n
When you are using an electric knife to cut your turkey, you will want to make sure that your guests are aware of the cord. It can be a huge tripping hazard.<\/li>\n
Be sure to check the batteries in each of your smoke detectors before turning on the oven or stove!<\/li>\n
Wear\u00a0clothing that fits a little tighter while you are cooking. Baggy sleeves could potentially catch on fire while you are leaning over the stove.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
