On the other hand, and this is especially true for those who may be newbies (or just inexperienced), the kitchen is also fraught with danger (and I don't just mean an awful omelet). And so the good folks at Cincinnati Insurance offer some helpful safety tips:
• A clean cooking environment is critical. Make sure before you start and after you finish that all surfaces are wiped clean and no ignitable food or grease is on the countertop.
• The No. 1 cause of kitchen fires is inattention. Fire can spread significantly in a short time. Whether you are cooking, roasting or frying, do not leave food unattended. If you leave the kitchen, turn off the stove.

• Do not throw hot grease into the garbage can.
