Turkey fryer safety: The OSFM agrees with the National Fire Protection Association in discouraging the use of outdoor gas-fueled turkey fryers that cook the turkey in hot oil. The use of deep fat turkey fryers can lead to devastating burns, other injuries, and the destruction of property. However, if you use a fryer, the OSFM urges you to use extreme caution. “If you’re cooking your turkey in a deep fat fryer, always do it outdoors a safe distance from buildings, deck railings and any other flamma- ble material and never leave it unattended,” advises Walker. “Hot oil is extremely danger- ous; never use turkey fryers on a wooden deck or in your garage.” More turkey fryer safety tips: • Lower and raise food slow- Dave’s CEN TR AARP, LCC offering ‘Smart Driver’ classes • Have a “kid-free zone” of at least three feet around the stove and areas where hot foods or drinks are prepared or carried. •Always keep a lid nearby to smother small grease fires. Smother the flames by careful- ly sliding the lid over the pan. Turn off the burner and don’t move the pan until it is com- pletely cool. • Never pour water on a grease fire; it can splatter the grease and spread the fire. • In the event of a fire in your oven or microwave, turn them off and keep the doors closed. • When in doubt, get out! Call 9-1-1 after you leave. Make sure you have smoke alarms on every level of your home, outside each sleeping area and in every bedroom. Test smoke alarms monthly and replace them if they are 10 years old or older. (54 With Thanksgiving just a few days away, State Fire Marshal Jim Walker is remind- ing Oregonians to keep fire safety front and center when cooking and preparing holiday meals. “When friends and family gather at this festive time of year, don’t let it be marred by tragedy,” says Walker. “By fol- lowing a few fire prevention tips, you can keep yourself and loved ones safe.” From 2011 through 2015, there were more than 4,000 cooking-related fires in Oregon causing nine deaths, 228 injuries and more than $37 mil- lion in property loss. Cooking safety tips: • Keep a close eye on your cooking; never leave cooking food unattended. If you leave the kitchen, turn off the stove or set a timer. • Keep your cooking area clean, including stovetop, burners, oven and exhaust fan. • Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wood- en utensils, dishtowels and food packaging — away from your stovetop. • Wear clothing that will not dangle onto stove burners and catch fire. • Keep pot and pan handles turned inward on the stove to avoid bumping them and spilling hot foods. • Heat cooking oil slowly and never leave it unattended.
