Turkey Day safety tips
The Rincon Valley Fire District, 8850 S. Camino Loma Alta, has some safety tips for Thanksgiving cooking. They are:
● Never thaw a turkey at room temperature. The safest way is in the refrigerator.
● Start holiday cooking with a clean stove and oven.
● Keep the kitchen off-limits to young children and adults who are not helping with food preparations to lessen the possibility of kitchen mishaps.
● When cooking, do not wear clothing with loose sleeves or dangling jewelry. The clothing can catch fire and the jewelry can catch on pot handles, causing spills and burns.
● Cook on the back burners when possible and turn pot handles in so they don't extend over the edge of the stove.
● Never leave cooking unattended.
● Keep Thanksgiving decorations and kitchen clutter away from sources of direct heat.
