what precautions should be taken during cooking of food with gas
Answers
Never use the kitchen in a hurry. Always remain calm as haste leads to accidents.
Turn off the gas and regulators after use. Regularly check the gas, pipes and replace anything with the slightest wear and tear.
Keep a list of emergency numbers -- of neighbours, spouse and doctors -- handy, preferably in one area like on the front of the refrigerator. Inform everyone at home that it is there. The following emergency numbers are applicable all over India:
Fire Brigade: 101
Ambulance: 102
Police: 100
Clean up spills immediately before someone slips and falls.
Avoid using curtains in the kitchen.
Avoid using extension cords, as wires strewn across the floor may cause someone to trip.
Switch off the gas before receiving a phone call or answering the doorbell.
When deep frying, place the saucepan/kadhai of hot oil on an inside gas burner (if you have a four-burner stove) so it cannot topple. If you have a two-burner stove, use a very stable cooking utensil for frying. And remove it from the gas and store safely as soon as you are done.
cloth should not be used to handle the utensil as it can catch fire
after cooking the gas should be turned off
precautions should be taken
gas leakage should be checked before and after every time of work
