1. Check the burners twice every time
2. Keep it clean, no excuses
Look, we all know that cleaning isn't fun, but a dirty stove is a lot more dangerous than you think. Food particles and grease can clog the burner and lead to potential gas leaks. Yikes! A quick wipe with a damp cloth after each use can save you a lot of trouble (and risk). Got tough stains? A little soap and a scrub will do the trick. Trust us, your stove (and your safety) will thank you.
3. Flammable = Problem
Here's a golden rule: nothing that can catch fire should be near your gas stove. Think plastic bags, wooden spoons, towels, and even those medicine bottles lying around. Keep all of those items away from the flames. It's not just about the person cooking—everyone living in the house should know this rule to avoid accidents.
4. Get rid of loose clothing
5. Smart handling of utensils
When using the stove, make sure you place pots and pans correctly. A small pot on a large burner spells trouble. Keep the flame under the pot, not around it. And if your pot has handles, place them to the side so you don't accidentally knock it over. Nobody wants a mess (literally)!
