Safety
Instructions for the safe use of kitchen utensils.
These measures are essential to ensure safe use and prevent accidents or injuries.
Proper use
Kitchen utensils should only be used for domestic purposes unless otherwise specified. Read the instructions and follow safety recommendations.
Supervision and care
Never leave food unattended while cooking. Utensils are not designed to be used by children without supervision.
Fire prevention
Turn off the heat and cover the pot or pan with a larger lid or a damp (not wet) cloth. Cover it carefully to avoid burning your forearms, and remove it from the heat source cautiously.
Caution with liquids
Avoid adding cold water, ice, or frozen food to hot pans, as this can cause steam eruptions and splashing.
Microwave use
Do not place utensils in the microwave unless specified. Always follow specific instructions to ensure safe and proper use.
Safe handling
Do not leave pan handles protruding beyond the stovetop edge. Ensure hot pans are placed securely at the back of the work surface.
Burn prevention
Do not touch hot utensils with wet cloths or place them on unprotected surfaces. Use protective oven mitts whenever necessary.
Using oil
Cook carefully when using hot oil, avoiding overfilling the pan or using excessive temperatures.
Storage and supervision
