Detailed explanation-1: -Never leave the pan unattended when the heat is switched on. Never put the food in the pan if the oil begins to give off smoke. Turn off the heat and leave the oil to cool, otherwise it could catch fire.
Detailed explanation-2: -Kitchen ovens were never designed for heating homes only for cooking food. Carbon Monoxide (CO). CO is another invisible, odorless gas that could be hanging around in your kitchen. The EPA says at moderate levels it causes headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fainting-and at high levels it can be fatal.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is good only to allow your oven to stay on for 12 hours or less, at or under 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Electric ovens are recommended not to leave the stove unattended as any food or grease could cause a fire. Gas ovens should never be left on or unattended since it poses a severe risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
