"The kitchen is the heart of your Thanksgiving, but it's also a common place for accidents. Cooking is the leading cause of all Thanksgiving Day fires in residential buildings and they occurred more often on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year. Keep safety front and center and follow these guidelines when cooking: Never leave your pan unattended. Keep a fire extinguisher on hand. Keep flammable items away from the stove."
"Keep produce separate from meat, poultry, seafood and eggs in your shopping cart and in your grocery bags. Store and serve food at the right temperature. Food should be stored below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and cooked to the proper internal temperature. Remember to refrigerate food within two hours of purchase of preparation and to always thaw food safely in the refrigerator, in a cold-water bath, or in the microwave."
Thanksgiving gatherings require active attention to safety in the kitchen and throughout the home. Cooking causes the most Thanksgiving Day residential fires, so never leave pans unattended, keep a fire extinguisher nearby, remove flammable items from stoves, and turn pot handles to the back. Prevent foodborne illness by separating produce from raw proteins, storing food below 40°F, cooking to proper internal temperatures, refrigerating within two hours, thawing safely, and washing hands and utensils thoroughly. Recognize multiple burn risks in the home and verify that home heating systems are in good condition for seasonal use.
