Detailed explanation-1: -As mentioned above, handles of pots and pans must be turned inward. There are other potential problems. A child can reach and pull. Pans, dish clothes with hot material on them, or pot holders are things that can cause food or grease to be pulled onto the child creating scald injuries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Keep pan handles toward the edge of the range so they are easy to reach. Handles pointed toward the edge of the range are easy to bump as you walk by or accessible for small children to reach causing a safety risk. Safe or Unsafe? Touch the surface unit on the range after use to be sure it is turned off.

Detailed explanation-3: -Use the stove’s back burners whenever possible and turn pot handles inward to reduce the risk of pots being knocked over. Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, and other items that can burn away from your stovetop. Clean food and grease from the oven and stovetop once it has cooled.

Detailed explanation-4: -Better balance and weight distribution depend on the handle’s angle; when too acute, the pot feels considerably heavier than its true weight. The more parallel the handle is to the pot rim, the more leverage you have and the lighter the pan feels in your hand.

Detailed explanation-5: -Make sure when cooking that the handles of your pots and pans are turned inward. This will be safer than someone knocking into them resulting in your food flying and burning you. Always have potholders or oven mitts close by when handling anything on the stove top or oven.
