Cooking Games and Injuries

It’s easy to get injured playing cooking games. When you’re in the kitchen, it is absolutely important to be as careful as possible to prevent injuries and to treat them properly when the injuries do occur. To help prevent injuries from cooking games, observe some of the common kitchen safety practices.

Never use a dull knife. If your knife is dull, it will be harder to use and might slip while trying to cut through something such as apple skin. And should that knife slip, it might just slip right onto your hand.

Never grab anything glass or metal without testing for heat. If you pick up a glass lid without realizing it’s been in the oven, you’ll have a sizeable burn to show for it. Always feel above the cooking ware for heat before touching.

Never put metal in the microwave. If you put metal in a microwave, you’ll start a fire. Literally. Metal sparks in the microwave and leaving something wrapped in foil or even foil on paper plates can have a pretty substantial effect in the microwave.
