This guide provides crucial safety tips for working in the kitchen, focusing on stoves, microwaves, and other hot appliances. Always assume stovetops are hot and be cautious with microwaved food that may not visibly show heat. Use oven mitts instead of towels to avoid burns from hot items. Remember to handle sharp objects with care, keeping fingers tucked and pointing knives downward. If accidents occur, know first aid for burns and cuts, including cold water treatment and applying pressure. Always communicate any concerns or questions about kitchen safety.
