Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To keep children and cooks safe, keep pot and pan handles inward away from the edge of the stove. In doing this, do not place handles over an open flame or heated burner while you are cooking.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hole in a pot or pan handle has a purpose-two, in fact. While it’s commonly used to hang pots or pans from the wall, it can also be used to hold the utensil you’re cooking with.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
