- Wear an apron or old clothes to avoid staining good clothes.

- While cooking on the stove, make sure all pot handles are turned away from the edge of the stove.
- Make sure you do not put kitchen towels, potholders, food packaging or recipes books or papers on or near burners.
- Use unbreakable bowls and utensils.
- Never use metal containers, foil, wire twist ties, or dishes with metal trim in the microwave.
- Always use potholders to remove containers from the microwave.
- Never turn on the microwave without something inside it.
- Be careful when eating food cooked in the microwave because the food may be much hotter than the container.
