Cooking Safety Tip: Always monitor what you are cooking. If you are frying, grilling, or broiling food, stay in the kitchen. Turn off the stove if you need to leave the kitchen for any reason. If you are simmering, boiling, or baking food, remember to check it regularly. Never leave your home when the stove or oven is on.
