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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -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.
