(#7) Make Sure Your Knives Are Sharp
A sharp knife will do the job quickly and won't require as much force as a dull one. Since a dull knife will require more force, there's a greater chance you'll slip and accidentally cut yourself.
(#19) Check Your Plugs And Appliance Cords
Over time, and with use, appliance cords on coffee makers, toasters, blenders, microwaves, and mixers can fray, leaving open areas of electric current which can lead to fires. Because of this, you'll want to check them often, and repair as needed. Take this time to also make sure your plugs have 3-prong grounded connections.
(#4) Don't Put A Hot Glass Dish On A Cold Surface
There's a lot of science behind this one. Glass expands when it gets warm and shrinks when it cools down, but the growing and shrinking is not uniform, which causes stress, and thus, major explosions.
(#5) Turn Pot And Pan Handles To The Side
Don't let your pot and pan handles stick straight out from the stove. Keeping them turned sideways is the best way to avoid spills and flips.
(#16) Follow Safe Minimum Cooking Temperatures
The best way to keep your family safe from foodborne illnesses like salmonella and E. coli is to cook meat until it reaches its minimum cooking temperature. You can double check that temperature at Foodsafety.gov.
(#3) Use Baking Soda Or Salt To Extinguish Grease Fires
According to Lifehacker, "Baking soda puts out fires by releasing carbon dioxide and smothering the fire." But it turns out salt works just as well - whichever you have handy.
