Use separate boards for meats and vegetables to prevent cross-contamination. Turn pot handles inward and keep flammable items away from heat. Never leave cooking unattended. Learn how to use knives safely—cut away from yourself and keep blades sharp. Keep a small fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent burns or snags. Safety isn’t fear—it’s freedom to cook without worry. When you create good habits, accidents decrease and your comfort increases. Mastering these basics turns your kitchen into a safe, empowering space.
