Danger Lurks In Hell'S Kitchen.
Danger lurks in Hell's Kitchen.
Egg timers and ladles are poised ready for the start of a new series of “Hell’s Kitchen”. This year Gary Rhodes and Jean-Christophe Novelli will attempt to instill some culinary expertise into 10 raw contestants. Meanwhile, millions of wanabe chefs, all over the country, will take to the kitchen and attempt to flambé the crêpes Suzettes with expensive consequences.
Churchill Home Insurance analysed over 11,000 home insurance claims and found that one in five household accidents happen in the kitchen, with the average cost of a cooking related claim being £4,910.
Additionally, more than one in ten household fires can be blamed on kitchen antics, with the humble saucepan being responsible for the majority of kitchen disasters.

To prevent the worst from happening in the kitchen, Churchill advises the following cook’s tips:
Do not leave pans unattended; if you must leave the kitchen briefly, turn down the heat on appliances and return to the kitchen quickly.
Keep anything that can catch fire, such as dishtowels, paper or plastic bags, curtains, etc., at least three feet away from the range top.
When cooking, avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing such as long open sleeves, they can be ignited by hot burners. If clothes do catch fire, "Stop, Drop and Roll" by dropping immediately to the ground and rolling over and over or back and forth to put out the flames.
