Detailed explanation-1: -Turning the handles of your pots and pans inward while cooking on the stove helps prevent someone passing by from accidently hitting the handle and knocking the food or boiling water out of the pot into themselves or onto the floor.
Detailed explanation-2: -Turn pot handles away from the stove’s edge. Always keep a lid nearby when you cook. If a small grease fire starts in a pan, slide the pan lid over the pan. Turn off the burner.
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.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
