Kitchen Safety
By Cathy Pearl 		  
1     Cooking in the kitchen can be a lot of fun. It can also be dangerous if you don't pay attention to safety rules. The next time you help an adult in the kitchen, be sure to follow these tips to stay safe.
 
2     First, when you are done cooking in the kitchen, make sure you turn the oven off. An oven that gets left on can cause a fire. Make sure everything else you used to cook is turned off, too. An appliance that gets left on could burn someone or damage the house.
 
3     Make sure that anything that is plugged in is kept away from water. A person can get shocked. Also, don't touch anything electrical if your hands are wet. Find a towel and dry them off first. You could get a bad electrical shock from this.
