Cooking for many is a passion and for others it is their means of livelihood. Cooking can become enjoyable with a good and hygienic kitchen having all the basic amenities required for cooking that PLANET offers . Although apparently it may seem that there are no risks involved in cooking but in fact cooking does involve some dangers because of the fact that cooking involves high temperatures.

Those experienced with the art of cooking are well versed with the risks of it but those who are new to this field must keep in mind some basic safety precautions while cooking that would save them from any mishaps. The safety tips that they should follow are the following :

• While cooking be very careful with hot utensils. Always use a piece of cloth to hold such hot utensils in order to avoid burns and bruises. PLANET offers pans with coated bottoms with international quality.
• PLANET Electric chimneys are an efficient way of removing smoke and odor compared to exhaust fans from a kitchen. For one thing, an exhaust fan will remove the fumes from your kitchen but not before it goes to your eyes. An electric chimney, on the other hand, is your ticket to cooking wholesome tadka meals without suffering from watery eyes.
• While using PLANET cooktops for cooking always make sure that you turn off the nobs each and every time you finish cooking. If you use a lighter for ligniting a cooktop then ignite the lighter prior to turning on the gas supply and then slowly turn on the gas.
• All utensils are not suitable to be used with a microwave and hence check on the variety of utensil before placing it inside a microwave in order to prevent cracking of utensils.
• Wear cotton clothes and never wear full sleeved shirts while cooking. Avoid wearing nylon clothes which can catch fire easily.
• While you cut your vegetables then make sure that you concentrate on your job in order to avoid cuts and bruises to yourself. Sharp knives can be very dangerous if you are not careful while using them.
• Always check your pressure cookers safety valve from time to time. Replace your pressure cooker’s safety valve periodically in order to prevent any incidents of pressure cooker bursting due to excess of pressure.
• All electrical connections in your kitchen must be grounded and use good electrical wires that are well insulated. An electrical fire can be disastrous as they are more difficult to control than normal fires.
• A kitchen floor should be kept dry and clean in order to prevent you from tripping. Don’t leave anything on the floor.
• Always keep a fire extinguisher at hand in order to prevent fire breakouts inside the kitchen. Fire extinguishers come very handy in order to prevent small electrical as well as other fire breakouts.
• Always keep children out of the kitchen.
• Gas appliances should be attended only by professionals and not by inexperienced persons.
