Some people get upset to see their efforts of creating a delicious homecooked meal go up in flames. Others already have a habit of laughing at their misfortunes and quickly reach for their phones to share pictures with everyone online. There are times, however, when these blunders quickly shift from funny to downright scary and grow into major accidents that might have alarming consequences.
You see, cooking is such a regular activity, we tend to forget that high temperatures can easily cause a fire. A report by The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states that from 2014 to 2018, cooking was the leading cause of reported home fires and fire injuries.

These fires had dire outcomes that resulted in 4,820 civilian injuries — that's 44 percent of all reported home fire injuries. The good news is that the vast majority of the reported fires were relatively small.
The most common cause of all of these incidents was unattended cooking. Moreover, clothing was the item first ignited in some of these fires, and cooking oil and grease fires are a substantial part of this whole problem.
The report also showed that an average of 470 cooking-related fires were reported per day in 2018, and the peak days were Thanksgiving and Christmas.

They shared that if you want to prevent such massive disasters from happening, always stay in the kitchen while cooking. Other safety advice would be to keep a fire extinguisher close by and make sure your smoke alarm is properly working. Since clothing or paper towels can quickly catch fire, you should keep any potential fire hazards away from stovetops.

It's Burger Time
Donkey boi 3 years ago
This is common in frozen burgers that have been defrosted and refrozen. When defrosted the water content drops to one side of the patty. Due to the fat, meat, and water content having different rates of freezing it causes the fat to render faster and mix with the water, creating that wonderful appearance of the bubonic plague.
Chris Osborn 3 years ago
I love burgers, but that would make me consider becoming a vegetarian 🤔.

Those are the little frozen premade patties. I cooked one once and a big bubble spot came up, I pushed it with the spatula and it blood and grease literally shot out like a fountain.

Made Some Cookies And Then Wondered What The “Film” Was Over Them. Upon Closer Inspection Realized I Forgot To Take Off The Plastic Wrap That Was Covering Them
Cody 3 years ago
I did something similar with a frozen pizza once as a teenager. The directions said to preheat the baking sheet along with preheating the oven. When I went to put the pizza on the baking sheet, I left the plastic on, planning on ripping open the plastic after it was on there (like I would normally do on a room temp sheet).
Katy 3 years ago

Don't Ask Me About My Cooking Skills, Because They Are Gorgeous
María Hermida 3 years ago
What's this supposed to be? Perhaps you are trying to prepare difficult dishes when you haven't been taught the basics. Cooking is not difficult, but you need to learn little by little, like any other skill. Try to find some videos of recipes you like, and make sure you understand every part of the process before starting. Pay attention to the tools needed and the ingredients and have everything ready. Take it easy and enjoy! Nobody is "bad at cooking", they just need to learn.
Gladys Hayes Southerland 3 years ago (edited)
So as l tried to figure out why ﷼ statement piqued me, a realization came to me. Gorgeous is not how one describes a skill. Perhaps "formidable" or "neglible".

Octavia Hansen 3 years ago
When adding a PINCH for flavor or decoration: don't EVER expect to pour a pinch of any condiment . . . EVER! For very small amounts, pour into the open palm of your hand and literally PINCH the amount you want. Keeping your thumb and forefinger together, move over the food and drop little bits by rubbing fingertips in a circulation motion. You will never over-season and can always add more. This method also distributes the spice more evenly since you can see it the whole time. Do this for salt, pepper, garnish or any strong flavor. Geez, doesn't the word PINCH tip you off?
