Safety first! Remember to take precaution when cooking in the kitchen. Important safety tips from Houston Fire Department "Over half the people attempting to extinguish a kitchen fire are injured. Often the best advice is to get everyone out of the house and call the fire department (911) from a neighbor’s house. Never try to move the pan, don't throw water on it, and don't put flour on it." Call 9-1-1 or text to 9-1-1 (if available in your area) in a real life threatening emergency.
