Hot fat fires

Over the past five years over 50 per cent of accidental dwelling fires were cooking related.

• Don’t cook after drinking alcohol or when you are tired
• If you have to leave the kitchen take pans off the heat
• Keep the cooker clean - a build up of fat or grease can ignite a fire
• Be extra careful with hot fat cooking; consider using a thermostat controlled deep fat fryer
• Take extra care when you have been drinking and be careful if you fancy chips in the middle of the night - a third of all deep frying injuries occur between 10pm and 4am!
• Keep tea towels, cloths and oven gloves away from the cooker and hob
