There is always a danger of getting burned in the kitchen, by its very nature a kitchen presents hazards from heat producing appliances that can result in a nasty burn. Ovens, hotplates, hobs, grills and kettles all produce enough heat to give you a burn if you are not careful. This article addresses ways in which you can minimize the risk of burns in the kitchen to yourself, your family members, guests and pets.

You should never hang kitchen utensils behind the stove, hot plate or grill. This is because when you reach over to get a utensil you might have to reach over a hot saucepan or other hot surface and put yourself in danger of getting burnt.

If your hob or hotplate has front and back burners or elements then always use the back ones when you can and turn the saucepan handles away from the front. This prevents children, pets or yourself from getting burned by brushing against or knocking over a hot cooking utensil. Never leave hot items like spoons or ladles near the edge of the work surface where a child or pet could reach them.

Summertime is a great time to use the slow cooker, too. The kitchen doesn't get hot while it's cooking! You can cook great crowd-pleasing favorites like casseroles, dips, and chilies easily in your crock-pot - then you relax and enjoy the fun, too! Crock-pots are safe. You can leave it on all day while you're running errands, going to appointments, or even while you're at work. When you get home dinner is done! Tiny, dip-sized crock-pots can work well at the office to warm up small servings of soup or leftover casseroles right by your desk (of course your co-workers are going to be jealous of that wonderful smell!)

You can get a new crock-pot at almost any store. The variety of colors and sizes is wonderful, so you can find the perfect fit for your kitchen. The simplest models offer a dial to choose from "low" or "high." I highly recommend you get a slightly nicer model that offers a "warm" option as well - it comes in handy. You can also get digital, programmable crock-pots, which can be especially good if you're a busy working mother and need to get out the door early.

You won't want to save your slow cooker for annual potluck dinners once you discover all the luscious recipes that you can make with your cooker. Everything from a hot breakfast to a hot toddy can be made in a slow cooker.
