Cook with Care Campaign

Do you have an older relative friend or who likes to cook? Make sure they take care when cooking with oil – If the oil starts to smoke, it is too hot. Turn off the heat and leave it to cool #CookSafely #CookWithCare
Help older relatives and friends stay #FireSafe in the kitchen. Clearing the crumb build-up in toasters will help prevent a fire. #CookWithCare #CookSafely
Keep tea towels and cloths away from the cooker and hob #FireKills #CookWithCare
Double check the cooker is off when you’ve finished cooking and never leave cooking unattended #FireKills #CookWithCare
It’s no secret that our memories can struggle as we get older. If you know someone who is getting a little forgetful, take time to check they are staying safe in the kitchen. #FireKills #CookWithCare
Fires from cooking appliances account for over half of all fire injuries in the home. Make sure your older relatives don’t get distracted whilst cooking and help prevent an accident #FireKills #CookWithCare
Even if you have limited space in your kitchen, never put anything other than pots and pans on the cooker hob. #CookWithCare
Keep the oven, hob and grill clean as a build-up of fat or grease can catch fire when hot. #CookWithCare
