**Many of these tips are based on cooking fire safety tips published by the NFPA.
| Unattended cooking | Never leave anything cooking on the stovetop unattended! Use high settings only when necessary and when you are fully present. If you have to leave the kitchen for even a short time, turn off the stove. |
| Never pick up a flaming pan | You may be burned, or if the pan is dropped, flames may quickly spread to other more flammable areas. |
| Do not use water | A violent explosion may result. Wet dishcloths or towels are also dangerous. |
| Smother with lid | If possible, slight a tight-fitting lid or cookie sheet over the flaming pan, turn off burner, and wait 20 minutes for it to cool before removing the lid. |
| Remove pan when done cooking | Always turn off burners and remove pans and other items from cooking surface. |
| Flammable items | Keep oven mitts, wooden utensils, pizza boxes, mail, and towels away from the stovetop. |
| Tired or under the influence | If you are sleepy, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other substances, do not attempt to cook. |
| Supervise children | Never allow children to cook unsupervised or to play with the stove. |
