The kitchen is a busy place. Cooking in a hurry, preparing food, or cleaning dishes is a constant activity here. But you should not neglect some precautions. You should be especially aware of gas stoves. If it is not used and maintained properly, there is a risk of any major disaster. Find out what you should be careful about to stay safe.

  1. Food particles can clog the oil burner and this can cause gas leaks. So always keep the stove clean. After cooking, wipe the stove with a damp cloth. If the stain does not come off, clean it with soap. 
  2. Do not place anything that could catch fire near the gas stove. Keep plastic bags, wooden spoons, towels, or medicine bottles away from the stove. 
  3. Regularly check the burner, stove, cylinder regulator, gas pipes, etc. to ensure that everything is working properly. Quality pipes, regulators, and valves should be used in the cylinder.
  4. Do not go near the stove wearing loose clothing. Synthetic clothing like polyester should also not be worn near the stove. 
  5. Open all the kitchen doors and windows at least half an hour before you start cooking. This will help release any gas that may have accumulated in the kitchen.
