(NC)Reminding
your children of kitchen safety rules is paramount as they grow through
every age. Your child may learn quickly, but never assume they remember
from day to day. Indeed, right through teenage, say observers, children
suffer lapses in judgment. Let's look at a few basic kitchen safety
rules, courtesy of Welch's Canada, a name long associated with kids'
favorite flavors in fruit juice blends and now also for their
innovative, kid-friendly squeezable jam.
"No knives are needed
for either our Concord Grape spread, nor for the newest flavor,
Squeezable Strawberry spread," says Erica Wong, spokesperson for the
brand. "The bottle is unbreakable and contoured for easy-grip and unlike
squeezable ketchup, the hole in the lid is not a circle, but rather an
elongated slit which allows the jam to be placed evenly on toast, bread,
crackers, bagels, or any baked goods." Here are some primary kitchen
rules you might want to clip and post on your fridge:
Never run
through a kitchen. Stop and walk at the door.
Never use
equipment without permission.
If you do have
permission, always use potholders or oven mitts when making something
hot.
Turn panhandles
inward toward the stove.
Never pull or
tug at an electrical cord. Remove it with your hand on the plug.
Pick up a knife
by the handle. If it falls off the counter, don't try to catch it.
Never put a
dirty knife in a sink full of water. When it is ready to be washed, put
it where it can be seen.
If a fire
starts, water may make it worse. Smother it with a pan lid or pour
baking soda on it.
