Detailed explanation-1: -Do not throw water on a grease or fat fire: smother it. Use a foam extinguisher or a wet towel. Remove the lids of pots slowly. Lift the side of the lid that is away from you so the steam does not rush out too quickly, causing burns to your hands or face.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lift the lid of a pan on a range so the opening is toward you so the steam billows away from your face. Steam burns are worse than water burns. Steam is the gas form of water and is hotter than the liquid form. Lift the lid top towards you and having the steam away from your face.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tilt the Lid Away from Your Body Lift the lid off a boiling pot tilting away from your body and make sure your face is not directly above the hot pot or pan. This way you control which side lifts first, controlling which side the steam comes out of and which side the condensation drips down.
Detailed explanation-4: -When cooking, always remove pan lids by tilting them away from you. This allows steam to escape safely at the back of the pot, away from your face. When removing a pan from the oven, pull the oven rack out. Don’t reach into a hot oven.
Detailed explanation-5: -Always stir and lift away from you. To avoid burns, always lift lids and stir pots away from you. Condensation forms on lids during the cooking process and it becomes very hot, so you don’t want it to touch your skin.
