Choice of burner
The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy
required.
Saucepans with handles that are excessively heavy in relation to the weight of the pan
are less safe as they are more likely to tip.
Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are
offset.
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
When deep fat frying fill the pan only one third full of oil.
DO NOT
cover the pan with a lid and
DO NOT
leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
DO NOT
use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
