The kitchen is the heart of the holidays—but also the #1 source of holiday fires. Keep the joy in your recipes with these simple tips:
✅ Stay in the kitchen. Never leave cooking unattended.
✅ Clear the stovetop. Keep oven mitts, towels, and plastic utensils far from heat.
✅ Have a lid ready. If a pot catches fire, turn off the stove and slide the lid over the pot to smother the flames.
✅ Remind kids about kitchen safety. Little helpers need big supervision!
🎁 The best holiday recipes start with attention—not just ingredients.
