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: -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-3: -When handling hot pans, always use potholders to avoid burns. Handles hanging over the edge of the stove can be grabbed by children or knocked off accidentally. Turn all handles on pots away from you to avoid accidental spills and burns.
